Shame, I just wonderered if there was a register of who the boats were sold to when new. It would have been great to trace how my Maxum got to the UK and who and why it was imported.

Boat history

I was just wondering if there is any way of finding out some of the history of our boat from the hull number?
It's been imported into the UK but started life in the US.
Any ideas?
