Contact info. for Richard Pinkham RP boats

[fishybusiness]

Anyone know how to contact Richard? I bought one of his used boats, and I am trying to get the boat Coast Guard documented, but I need to have a Proof of Builder's form filled out by him for the package to send to the CG. Any help would be appreciated, even if it was someone that might know him. Best regards........

Try calling Sue Ellis at coastal documentation ...she might know ..or she can steer you in the right direction with the C.G.

Thanks for that, I'll call her. I can get a waiver from the Maritime Administration but it coasts 500. bucks just for the application, which is non refundable. So, I thought it would be a bit cheaper to have Richard fill out the form and email it back to me

She knows all the in's and out's...if that doesn't work I might know a guy who had his cell phone number before the fire...let me know....good luck..mike

Someone on here must know him.

Just got off the phone with her, and she only had the shop number that is disconnected now. I also have a call in to H&H in Steuben to see if Bruce Grindal has a number.

I think if you can find someone that worked at his shop and writes you a letter, that would be acceptable. I went through the same thing with a boat that was never documented and the builder went out of business. Deal ended up falling through because I wasn't able to document the boat. The other thing is I don't think you can get a waiver for commercial fishing. I think the waiver is only good coastwise. The Coast Guard are not very accomodating. They dont give 2 shits about you. Good luck. Hope everything works out for you.

Yeah, I am just starting to realize that the girl that I spoke with at the Coast Guard N.V.D.C. might have given me bad info. I am going to try and find someone who worked at R.P. to fill out the CG form so I can get it going. Thanks.....

Can someone send me Richard's contact info please. I am assisting in the settlement of an estate and could use some info on an RP 31 he built. Thanks

Make sure to list it on here once you get it straightened out if selling it is the idea.
