You can get a new title as a rebuilt or built with used parts.

Yes, I believe I can the paperwork ask if i know the boat manufacturer and year. I was just hoping to get as much info as possible. It hasn't been registered since 2013 so it dropped out of the dmv's system as far as the lady could tell at the registration place when she ran the CF number and registration sticker number.
 
thank you so much for responding! the console had mercury gauges with a date stamp on the back of one that said sept 19 1976 and a 3-button trim control the outboard had the ID tag and is a 1996, definitely not the original motor though.
 
I just had to get rid of a good trailer because the DMV doesn’t keep records over 6 years.
Turned out to be cheaper/ less hassle to just buy a new one.
 
All you need in Hawaii is a bill of sale and a trailer inspection to get a new title.
 
I finally figured it out after search form for months just because it was bugging me that I didn't know the make or model, but it's all registered now and good to go! I figured I would let the awesome member who gave some great advice and maybe some other person search for one will stumble across this post haha. So, I am still not sure the exact year but it's a Super Dolphin Bay boat made by dolphin boats out of Florida. I found a YouTube video of someone selling the same layout

thank you all again for the help!

Nick
