So I'm trying to buy that boat and making sure everything is good. The trailer ('91~ ShoreLand'r) seems to have no VIN plate/sticker but I think I can still file for "registration". Will see when they reply to my email. Now the outboard, a '91~ Mercury 40 2 stroke outboard might not have a Serial/MIN sticker/plaque? It seems like everything is a sticker and just falls off over time? There is a PWD 504 forum for the boat and motor that want a pencil tracing of the HIN/MIN/Serial. How could I do that if it's a sticker? They accept photos... Where should this MIN be? If I google image "mercury outboard serial location 1991" there is a picture from iboats showing it should be on the right side of the middle part of the motor. I think the transom mount part of the motor? Kinda under the engine part? I know it doesn't look quite like the motor but is almost there. I think it's just the logo difference. It has straight lines.

Does that sound right? Is there anything under the cowl?

Thanks,
