[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 469859, member: 15465"] I'm in Iowa. Before starting my project, I called the local DNR guy who told me incorrect info regarding registering my jetjon. I then called the coast guard & they were helpful ( no inspection required). I also called the head honcho DNR lady in Iowa who also was helpful. The county recorder ladies needed some coaching on how to create a home made title but eventually got it done. In Iowa, the caveat is you can't sell it for 5 years, or something like that. Not a problem for me as it is my favorite toy. Sounds like Fl has guys like me figured out & you can't get there from here. Maybe you should ask if you can bring a homemade in from out of state, buy a used one & rebuild it better. Or build from scratch, which sounds like a fun project too. Edit: All of a sudden I am curious as to the Iowa rules & I see the exact same lingo! However, it doers give this loophole, which is what I did (surrender previous HIN): "If any of the parts you used to reconstruct your boat contain a registration number or HIN number from a boat that was previously registered, you will need to provide the registration and/or title from the previous registered owner."
