FYI for potential MA buyers, the C-Dory MSO's do not include length or beam (at least mine didn't) and MA would not register my boat.

I'm sure C-Dory will provide me with a new MSO with this information listed but I wanted to provide a heads up for potential MA buyers.
 
Matt, My understanding is that the Manufactuer's Statement of Origin is to the dealer. Mine did not have any dimensions either. The dealer then made a bill of sale to the buyer, and that, along with a copy of the MSO was used for registration. The bill of sale can have the dimensions. C Dory does not sell the boat to you, but the boat was built for the dealer. I was gong to document Thataway, but C Dory did not properly fill out the Builder's Certification and Transfer of title. (CG). Since the bridge deck and the engine bracket provide floatation at rest, the boat is not classified as a catmaran--and the length of the motor bracket is added to the boat. Too much to go into, so I just accepted the State registration which the dealer had already done.
 
Thanks for the reply.
In my case they would not accept an MSO without dimensions. C-Dory said they will send me another MSO. Hopefully I will get it soon to get her registered.
