I have a little fibreglass dink, the serial number starts with NSE. My insurance company wants to know the make and year and I have no idea. Anyone happen to know what manufacturer used NSE serial numbers?

* Warning - Thread Drift*No idea where it came from, I bought the boat last year and dinghy was part of the package. The Boatex seem to have a lot more tumblehome than mine so not sure if that's a good match or not. I think I'll just tell the insurance it's a Minto and have done with it. Not like they would actually pay to replace it with another one anyway.
True, it is not proof of ownership but can be problematic if license and bill of sale are in different names. License not required if the engine is less than 10hp only. Licenses are valid for 10yrs. Renewal is mandatory if the engine is 10hp or over.The boat is not required to be licensed and a license is not proof of ownership. The license has long since expired.
BP - is that an Ontario thing? AFAIK in BC they are open ended....True, it is not proof of ownership but can be problematic if license and bill of sale are in different names.

No, not Ontario. It's a Transport Canada thing and failure to comply is an offence under the Canada Shipping Act.BP - is that an Ontario thing? AFAIK in BC they are open ended....
Damn.. bought this boat 10 years ago this fall so I guess it's renewal time - still free, I hope??Yep, 10yrs then they expire in Canada. My engine is a massive 8hp so no license required.
I have a Boatex dingy - I don't think that's a good match as the skeg is very squared off and yours is much less so.Did the dink come with your C&C from Ontario ? If so, the dink looks exactly like a Boatex, made in Ontario
