    Click on "Search Forums" and put in the key word "Roamer". You may or may not find reference to your boat, but you'll certainly find the right people to help you.

    Roamer History

    Onerios - Try contacting the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, they handle boat registration. With the prior license number you have, they ought to be able to get the information to you. They have been helpful to me in the past tracking down other Roamers. Their mailing address is DNR, Boat Registration, Madison WI 53707 USA. Telephone 608-266-2621, fax 608-264-6130. If, for privacy reasons, they will not release prior owner info to you, ask them if they will contact the prior owner with your contact info, and let him / her contact you. What is boating like in Sweden??

    Don't Worry

    They are slow... the museum is only two hours from DC. It took them forever to send it out.
