I spoke with the game warden's secretary this morning (before she scheduled a visit) and she cut through more red tape than all other sources combined. She said she has seen this numerous times on many vessels (mostly homemade or reglassed & gelcoated) and the best way to save me the $25 inspection and $35 title alteration is get a HIN badge/plate made that matches the HIN on the title, secure it to the vessel and be done with it. This is sound wisdom in my opinion. Any last tips on the best method to attach it before I bust out the 5200 or a die grinder ?!!! PT
