I received the HIN number from the BMV headquarters today. It now must be "engraved or embossed" to the exterior starboard transom and a police officer must certify it is applied in a "workman-like manner". Then I go pay my $63.02 in taxes they say are due and a 15$ title fee and I assume I will be done. With luck I might get this done tomorrow (friday) before the weekend.

I have re-installed the deck hardware and am going to install the seats, rubrail, etc this fri/sat. With luck I might be ready and legal by saturday but Im not so sure the legal part will be ready. Depends on if my cop buddy can make a stop by friday morning.
