Thanks for your advice it certainly is a grey area!! Found a broker, it’s on the market so fingers crossed

Hi I purchased a boat in October 2017 from a reputable dealer. I have recently sent the boat for sale at anther brockets yard. They have informed me that they cannot sell the boat as she does not have a CIN number. The boat has a plate showing the fit out by floating homes 2003 however a builders plate is nowhere! Do I have a case against the agents that sold me the boat in 2017?? (I understand it’s illegal to sell without one) also how has the boat gained a CRT licence without the CIN number. As I am not the original owner I cannot get a CIN number unless I pay £3/5k if I was the original it would cost £750! can anybody explain why such a huge difference in cost? What does it involve to get a CIN number? I am at a loss what to do with my boat, any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
