rckeat Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 I have noticed that a lot of boat sellers will blank out their boat numbers when they post photos of a boat they are selling. I'm curious why folks feel the need to do so and have always wondered why? Thanks for educating me with your replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarpon41 Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Exact location of your home to the public or to protect from theft. Or maybe somebody can report your vessel to fwc maybe causing you trouble possibly, due to a problematic person who likes causing drama! taking a guess….

fin-addict Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Makes o sense to me either. In everyday life it’s shown all the time. 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckeat Posted March 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Glad I'm not the only one confused by this. I thought perhaps folks were concerned there was some way to use the numbers to lookup the owner of a vessel. But honestly I am just curious why sellers often do this.

Lap it Up Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 I think it’s mostly because of the interweb. Once on the web, always on the web. People block out registration numbers and tags cause those pics will be online forever!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
