When I bought my 1978 M17, I faced something similar with the Trail Rite trailer, which has to be titled. The seller had no title to convey. Our solution (theirs, actually) was to call it "homemade". You might try the same thing with the boat. Tell them you built it yourself. If they ask when, tell them a long time ago, then give them the actual numbers. I built a 10 foot dinghy and was issued a set of boat numbers with the plans. On paper, they would never be able to tell the difference. Didn't Johnny Cash have the same problem with a Cadillac? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWHniL8MyMM
