Engine Serial Number has always been on the form since I could remember. I don't think the field is large enough for twins though?

Just depended on whether or not the person taking the information asked for it. My guess is that since this state doesn't title boats it may be one way of identifying theft. Buy a hull from the Gulf that sunk during a hurricane, steal another boat that has similar engine and outdrive and rebuild the sunken boat and register as yours... No way to track it otherwise. I am curious though, how many times do Marine Police check engine numbers against the registration? I am not saying it is feasible, in fact probably not practical. I guess if they wanted to they could create a law requiring inspection of the numbers, just like they inspect sewage systems ;-)
