Rego papers will have model make and HIN
on it you need to site them and check on-line

If it does turn out to be registered and legit . Do not launch it till you have rego numbers on it. From memory no numbers is $1300 fine if they want to get nasty

It reminds me of an old Sportscraft in looks but can't say otherwise as its been atleast partially rebuilt and spruced up (which could also mean hot as all ****). Alot of older boats only had a dodgy looking hin sticker that have long fallen off or faded away. Vicroads do allocate new hin numbers for old boats that have been rebuilt with that issue

I was thinking sportscraft too.

If you are looking for boats at that size and budget have a look at flightcraft 5.4m.

Whilst not the quality or ride of haines, they are decent quality and similarly priced.
