How to register a Boatel boat, made by Botel Industries.

by Jamie

My 18ft 1988 Boatel fishing boat was made in AZ by Botel Industries. This boat I bought can handle the rough water so well, and is powered by a 120 hp Johnson outboard.

When I tried to register it, they questioned my vessel stamp
and denied me. The next day while cleaning it I fould the factory plate with the same vessel #s built in the dash.

They said they have never heard of this boat ever, and no one in the office here in Las Vegas. Any help in identifying it, or getting it registered would be appreciated. Thank you, Jamie.

Well Jamie, congratulations on your Boatel boat purchase. Sorry to hear about your problems in getting your boat registered.

I'm sure together, we will all be able to identify the model and make, and get it properly registered.

As a last resort, since the boat is already on a trailer, you could always just trailer it over to the registration office, and have them step outside to personally "look it over' and get the necessary info needed to register the boat.


Lastly, hopefully some of our readers will share and post comments about their Boatel boat registration experiences. Feel free to use the "Click here to post comments." link found at the bottom of this page.
