Ah yes! And before that, when we had plates instead of bow numbers, outboard motors were registered, NOT the boat. Often the plate was attached to the motor as motors could easily be moved from boat to boat. I have no knowledge of a serial number on my first power boat which was a Chris Craft Kit, built at home, with a 7.5 hp Scott-Atwater motor, c.1957.
