Hey guys, new member here. My dad had a 21ft Omega Daycruiser that he bought new. I grew up on the Columbia River in Washington near Camas/Washougal. People who know the area know of the marina where my parents moved a house down river on a barge and it now sits at the corner of the  marina parking lot. We moved to florida in 1993 and my dad put his newly restored boat up for sale in the marina showroom. The boat sold and unfortunately my dad never saw a penny from the sale of the boat (those bastards...). My question is, is it possible to find out who owns the boat now through boat registration records? My hopes are to find the boat, buy it back, restore it, and gift it to my dad. What do you guys think?

I think he signed it over for the marina to sell it for him. The boat sold and the marina went out of business shortly thereafter. Basically took the money and ran... I'm guessing the amount of money it would cost to go after the guy would've been more than the sale of the boat...I was only 8 at the time so I don't know the exact details.

Boat numbers huh? Will have to get the photo albums out and hope that it's in one of the pictures...otherwise you think they could look it up by his name? I doubt the new owner would put new numbers on the boat, ya think?

I learned from an old family friend who's a retired detective that Wa State Patrol have that information in a database called ACCESS. It's illegal for police to use the system for personal use (of course), but we'll see where this takes me... Keep the ideas coming though!

not bad so far!   the summer camp may have sold  it them selves.
