Bob, your dealer should fill out a registration card when they sell you the boat. When this card is sent to BassCat your registration is complete and it also generates the receipt of your jacket and hat. Contact [email protected] with your boats serial number and they can tell you whether or not weve received it.It generally takes about 5 to 6 weeks on the registrations by the time a dealer sends it in, we enter it,and the jacket gets prepared. Thanks,BCB
