Given the undisputed facts (number was affixed, boat was washed ashore in a typhoon, appellant focused on securing seaworthiness, boat was not in use and appellant re-affixed the number when notified), the Magistrate was plainly wrong to characterize the appellant's evidence as inherently improbable and dishonest; on an objective assessment the appellant established a reasonable excuse and the conviction could not stand.
