Boat/Motor ID Help + Insurance
Hey All
Need to organise Insurance, would also like some help with ID.
Most recent threads regarding Insurance appear to be more than 2yrs old, Club & SGIO seemed to be most suggested, things may have changed...
4x4's also due for renewal, was thinking maybe I could get a combined discount if any of them offer it with boats?
Was doing an online quote on Club, it asks details I don't know (I.e. "Hull make" , "When was your boat built?") thought you maybe able to help out before making a tool of myself via the phone? (compared to doing it here with u)
Boat is 4.4mtrs glass, Vin is AU-TWA038439AJ6 (see pic below) month & year/s don't reflect the example from DOT. Transport website was suggested to enter vin but all I can see is checking to see if any finance owing.
She's had a rough coat of paint at some point, Cruise Craft stickers put on the side, dosn't mean it is one.
Looked at heaps of Google Images and can't find anything similar with the rear moulded seating, perhaps it was an optional upgrade, later installed etc.
(Flash looking ali trailer under it is the work of site sponsor Todd at Epic Marine, generous FOC loaner while he custom makes mine)
Motor is a Yammy 55 CV, why they put ID stickers on the outside in the weather rather than protected under the cover ??? 
Not only for insurance but would like to get a manual.
Other thing while at it;
Anyone else had something like this? experiment with in-built tank placement/balance, hydrofoil etc. any tips/tricks?
Gotta redo all the dodgy wiring so while I'm at it....
Thanks for any help/advice...

The AU-TWA in the HIN is for
The AU-TWA in the HIN is for the department of transport WA.
That means it got the HIN some time after it was built. So no way to id the manufacturer from that.

That would be great
That would be great Bryan! Any other info you need off it?
Wasn't sure what the other letter was before the ET, or if there was actuually anything after it, if so it looks a bit sus, like its been rubbed out.
Be awsome if you can steer me in the right direction for a manual.

Motor info from Yamaha
Best place for a manual is probably SELOC - you can go to their website and pay with c/c to download the manuals as a pdf.
