Howdy All;
Quick story, Bought a Boat, Motor & Trailer off of flebay from a used auto dealer in Arkansas,
I was living in Ohio (a must be notarized State). Drove to Ar. got the B, M, & T , drove back to
Ohio, go down to local DMV office and am told all 3 need to be notarized (oops). So I call the
dealer ... well they had bought the rig at a " Dealer Auction " in Missouri and the 3 had been
repoed in Texas where they were registered but were titled in Oklahoma. Took about 2 months
but it was eventually ironed out and I had 3 proper titles in hand. Learned my lesson then and
there. Ain't got a title I ain't buyin.
Ok, I got another ...
When I lived in Md. I found a 12' jon boat with a N.J. sticker on it and no data plate with hull
number (like a VIN for a car), contacted DNR, was told that I needed to post a notice in 3 newspapers
for 90 days if no response then I could get a new hull number and title.
Ask the authorities, they will tell ya what ya need to do or ya might even go for a mechanic's lien ...
