Hah! You are so right. I forgot that the boat registration codes are much older than the postal ZIP codes, and Michigan is MC for boats and MI for postal. And that is really dumb because I live in Michigan.LFB wrote:The boat was previously registered in Mississippi (MI).

It is hard to see the level of finish in your restoration, but seeing the boat afloat it looks a million-times better than when you bought it.
