re: Looking at getting this bass boat...opinions?

I registered a boat I bought cheap from a friend so I could flip it. No title and no registration. Wasn't that hard but had to trace the VIN number off the hull with a pencil and paper and take it to TPW reg office. . Some how I got a new title and registered it in my name. Before I would go that far take the LA Numbers Or boat serial number and have them checked to see what comes up.
