It may have changed but then any power boat, even a small trolling motor, was required to be registered and would have a hull number. Canoes, rowboats, and small sailboats didn't. > > They are very cute. Did not know they liked to eat that stuff. They're much cuter if you don't have to live with them. They love salt and will chew up ax handles, outhouse seats, gloves, vehicle parts, or anything else they can get their paws on.
