Dear Bob MacLean,
If you homebuilt or imported your craft for your own personal use, you will not need a compliance notice or Hull Serial Number (HIN). You only need compliance notices or HINs for homebuilt or imported pleasure craft if you intend to sell them commercially (to make regular profit). You may still sell pleasure craft you built or imported for your own personal use, but not if your intentions were commercial.
Even though you do not require a compliance label or HIN for your personally built or imported craft, you are still responsible for ensuring your pleasure craft is built in accordance with Transport Canada's Construction Standards for Small Vessels - TP 1332 (http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/tp-tp1332-menu-521.htm) and Small Vessel Regulations (http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2010/2010-05-12/html/sor-dors91-eng.html), and may be liable for failing to do so if an accident occurs.
You also do not require a compliance notice for pleasure craft you build according to traditional methods that have proven to be reliable over some time (open construction, no inboard engine, not mass produced, and of wooden construction), even if you intend to sell the pleasure craft commercially.
Maximum Capacities:
If you cannot obtain a capacity label, but want to know some recommended capacities for your pleasure craft, you should hire a marine surveyor to survey your pleasure craft for recommended capacities.
