Richard,
Call the USCG Vessel Documentation Center and order an "abstract of title".
Will cost about $25.
The AOT will show every event associated with the documentation; owners, liens,
etc. That will give you a good start on the history of the boat.
I ordered one for Touche'. Interesting document.
Dennis C.
Touche' 35-1 #83
