I recently bought a 1970 balboa 20. The P.O. "lost" the title. I have no reason to suspect otherwise. I cannot find the hull Identification number on her:eek:. I read that on most boats its on the transome. Not on mine. I did find a a plate located inside on the backrest of the dinett seat (if that's what it's called) with the serial number stamped on it but that is just a 3 diget number. The boat sat for 10 years and was poorly maintained for that time. Any suggestions on wear to look?:doh:

Boats manufactured here or imported didn't require HIN's until Nov 1, 1972. Since your boat appears older, it may not have had one.

Ah ha he says! that would explain it. Thanks. I was starting to worry if I would have problems getting it registered.
