my buddy bought a donzi a week after we bought our donzi from phil.
the nj dmv told him he had to rub over the vin of the boat with a pencil and show it to them. once he did this he noticed the 3rd to last number and last number are not the same as on the registration... the third to last is a 9 and last is a 6 on the reg. the boats has a 5 for the third to last and last number.. when he showed me the rubbing of the vin it can be easily misread as a 9 and 6 however its different..
is there anyone that can help figure this issue out, he spoke with the previous owner and he had the boat registrations renewed for years and I believe was the 2nd owner.. my friend is computer illiterate and I told him id ask on here. as he has had a blast on our boat and wants to be able to cruise with us with his family as well for the weeks to come.
if anyone can help resolve this issue by possibly checking the vins through donzi for me please let me know. pm me or call me.. this is very important he paid cash for the boat and at first glance the v in on the back did look to him like the same as the reg... those 5's are hard to read, they looked like 6's to me.. he can easily register the boat with the rubbing s it looks like a 9 and 6 but he wants to do it right. od forbid someone checks the vin and it doesn't match up unless this is common with donzi's?
perhaps rickse can do some vin checks I think he works for donzi?? or someone else from donzi
please call me if you can help my friend needs to get tot he bottom of this
