When you register a boat, you must provide a printed photo on paper or a pencil tracing on paper of the hull ID plate on your boat. If your newly acquired boat was built before 1974, chances are that it does not have a Hull ID. But if it does have a Hull ID...  On paper, either a printed photo, or a pencil tracing, is required to verify the hull ID. Here is a helpful link on how to do the pencil tracing: https://www.coastalbreezenews.com/articles/hull-identification-numbers/#:~:text=An%20easy%20way%20to%20get,cell%20phone%20in%20the%20water.

The hull ID plate is usually located on the back outside right of the boat. As you are looking at the motor, the hull ID usually is on the boat to the right.

Firewood.... Bring firewood with you if you can. In Norton, Bomgaars on hwy 36 sells bundles of firewood. Casey's sometimes has firewood bundles for sale too.
