The previous owner of my boat lost the Builder's Certification, so I asked Gail at Fountain, and she kindly sent me a copy.
Therefore, I wasn't surprised to see "COPY" stamped on both pages.
But I now got in contact with another Fountain owner (who owns the boat since new), and he also has a copy, not an original. Same goes for the Manufacturer's Statement of Origin.
So I am now wondering, is that the normal practice, or did you guys got the originals of these docs?

Well, I understand it was a boring question, but isn't really anyone who can help me understand how things stand?...

I have never seen them for my boat, it has been CGD it's whole life.

Over here that serves as a title or the paperwork you would use to get a title.

I think the answer here is that any "original" document is just that ...... the "original". Therefore any subsequent document would be a "copy" of the original. If you have ever dealt with legal doc's thru an attorney they almost always stamp copies as such. One attorney years ago explained it to me "there is only one original, everything after that is a copy".
