There is actually another weirdness about the boat (209).

That MD number you listed would have been Tom's - with him being from Baltimore. And I have paperwork confirming it. After that the registration number would be PA as Fred lives in PA. I may have paperwork to support that.

I registered the boat in Delaware. At nearly the same time my son was buying a sailboat - so he handled both registration processes. But he then put My DL registration number on his boat in NJ - and put His NJ registration numbers onto my boat: 209. <g>

That error never came to light until this spring when he sold his boat and the buyer noted that the installed DL registration numbers did not agree with his boat's title. It took a good while of us pondering before realizing what must have happened. I never noticed it either and can't confirm it now - but I believe that 209 is sporting the incorrect NJ registration numbers.

Not that it matters much - it's just one more thing. <g>
