Trying to Track Down our First Boat

[Jack380AC]

It was a 1986 270DA. Her name was "Eli-Beck" and we loved her. It was a great experience for the whole family and we didn't miss a single weekend the entire 1991 season.


As we watch the season come to an end smt089) we were wondering whatever happened to that boat. So I started the search :smt024 Here's what I have tried so far...

• Sent an email to Sea Ray Customer Service. Got a very nice response but they have no record of the history or current owner.
• Tried searching this site for ideas on searching but could not find anything to help:huh: (my search skills are not the best.)
• Tried Googling for "free" HIN searches but all the sites I found were free until you "registered" your email address and then they wanted money to give me information :smt013 I don't like to pay for bait and switch.
• I have the name of the person to whom I sold the boat and did some online searching there as well. I found one hit with a phone number that might be the right person but no answers the phone :smt009

So I am hoping there is someone who knows of a free (or at least not too expensive) way to search for a boat using the hull identification number (HIN) :smt100

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
