Here is a link I found mentioning Michigan laws;

Doesn't something have to be notarized?


No.

Anybody been through this before?


Yes. From the Michigan site.

"No registration? Then create a bill of sale with the year, make, hull
ID number, and registration number (if you have it)."

Is there a way to tell year based on HIN or some other way on this
Lonestar. It does not say anything about year of make/model.


The last two numbers of the HIN are the year.


Thanks Everyone,
Wow that should be easy. I will try and title it some time next week.
The only thing that I am not sure of is according to the state of Ohio
all boats need a 12 digit hull number. Something about after 1972 all
boats should have 12 digits not 9. I learned this in my Boaters class.
The paper work from Michigan only lists out 8 digits on the
registration. I ran outside to the garage and there is no fiberglass
number inscribe in the Stern like I was taught. There is only an
attached fully readable plate that says Lonestar CareFreedom and a
serial number. Its a manufacturers plate. There is also a emblem on
the side that says Lonestar. The serials match the numbers on the bill
of sale and registration I have that were my neigbors from 1991-1994
era. I hope this HIN number shortage will not be a whole alot of
problem. I am just curious can anyone tell what era this boat is
from? The last two digits are 94 for serial number.

Thanks,
Chris
