[Public-List] Maryland Titling Requirements

[Jim Davis]

   I can't find the link to it but Maryland has a process to assign a HIN
   for vessels that are older than the HIN requirement.  This process is
   also used for boats that were bought from a foreign seller where HINs
   aren't used.  Talk to the clerk at DNR and explain the problem.  You
   might also want to do a USCG bill of sale to make it easier for them.
   I will recommend the Annapolis office for cooperative workers.
   The process is fairly easy, I've been through it with a previous boat.
   The state issued HIN will start with the postal abbreviation ie  MDZ.

   Also this may help    customerservice.dnr at maryland.gov   or

I just sold my A-30 to a resident of Maryland. He will be moving her back
to Maryland from Virginia eventually. He says that Maryland won't title the
boat without a picture of the hull number. The only thing on the boat that
has anything like that is the Serial number placard. Any suggestions on how
he can proceed?

Bob,

Congratulations on selling Kittiwake #76.

Suggest that the new owner show the document "U.S. Coast Guard Hull
Identification Number (HIN) Validation & Verification Guidelines" which
states clearly that hull identification numbers were not required for prior
to 1 Nov 1972.  The document can be found via Google search and at

idation-Verification-Guideline.pdf

When I purchased Constance #262 in May of 2015, presented the title to the
DNR folks and there was no problem regarding the lack of a HIN.  It was
purchased in Maryland from a Maryland owner.  Perhaps that made a
difference.

Jonathan

PS.  Could you let me know who you sold her to so that I can get in touch
with them in the role of secretary of the Chesapeake Bay Alberg 30
Association.
