Nope, wrong again. No loan.

You have me stumped.

There are only a handful of exemptions which you didn't appear to qualify for.

Let me see if I can understand this better.

When you bought the boat did you register it at that time and is that when the dealer said you didn't need to display your assigned bow numbers?

Did you buy the boat and go to a registrant and were told you didn't need to dispaly your assigned bow numbers?

Did you inquire of NHMP and were told, for whatever reason, you didn't have to display bow numbers?

I guess we need more detail of the registration process you followed after buying the boat and who exactly told you that you didn't need bow numbers.

Or is this a trick question....

I know...you're a lovely lady tis and everyone in Wolfie Town knows you...but you still had to register, correct?

I honestly wish I could remember more but it was quite a while ago. I just remember being told that we did not need to display the bow numbers. I think it must have been the guys at Irwin. Yes, we still would have had to register it, I think maybe with the Coast Guard as was mentioned. But I clearly remember we did not need the bow numbers. (no trick question! )

OK..I'll be a gentleman and not ask you what "quite a while ago" means...

Most likely as Local Realtor and VitaBene have previously surmised, this was a case where the dealer wanted to document your vessel.

Boy you had us stumped out here for a bit tis....good excercise for the brain cells!

If it was a "documented" vessel you would have also needed to inscribe the documentation number on a (paraphrasing) "permanent/structural element of the boat in plain view (on the interior)".
