So in Maryland I learned the process after getting 2 boats without a title. One I had to pay $5 to get the name, address and phone number of the title holder. For me the title holder was dead so I had to send a certified letter to his address, then post an add in the paper for 30 days. After that 30 days was up I sent a copy of the add and the returned certified letter to the DNR and got the title. The process was easy but time consuming. Well worth it though.

He has no other family besides his sister, she has even been through probate court successfully. His sister gave me his motorized kayak. She does not know where the title to his kayak is located. She is definitely willing to do a notarized bill of sale, if she even can. The kayak was registered in MD and the registration just eneded in December 22. Is their any hope that I can successfully get this kayak registered? I also do not know if any liens are on the kayak.

Hi Jim, Im up here in Green Country Okie Dokie land. I have a 1982 sailboat that has a NM title issue from out of state. I have a bill of sale and signed titles for the boat , but the trailer ( title isnt required in Ok ) and 2 motors a 9.9 Johnson and 7.5hp FisherKing . Also not required in Ok , Although its signed and notarized the boat title happens to be archived and missing when they ( the DMV ) check New Mexicos records. Now I am waiting on a call back from the tag office. Just wondering in case this deal goes south in a heap - Im wondering ... Did you just have to fax your paperwork or send it certified to Vermont ? ( How did you handle it ? What steps did you have to do with Vermont ? ) Thanks buddy

Good information. I was wondering what to do for an unregistered boat like you bought way back for $100. I have been in E. Texas for 2 years and heard stories from people to stay away from non registered boats as you might be buying something you can't use until the TPWD will get to issuing a new registration which could be 6 months or more. I have found a couple of flat bottom boats for $300-$400 but no titles. Would like to buy one at this price as I am not yet sure on how much fishing I would do, but I also don't want to wait on a title coming in.

Yep it’s a bad situation the state doesn’t want nothing to do with and put those boats in a grey area. I’ve found flooded boats that were abandoned that have been sitting for years and there are processes to figure out how to get them registered but you have to follow the state guidelines. The only thing is the state doesn’t clearly state the guidelines unless you research a ton which is what I’ve had to do so I don’t do anything wrong. I hope you get yours registered bud

Thanks for the reply, but, to make a short story shorter, I have no title and no reg and had no clue who previous owner was. Impulse yard sale purchase driving through MA few years back. Dude had no papers. I know I know. NYS DMV said I had to get title, period. I said fine, who do you have the last registered owner so that I may contact them. They wouldn’t give me that info. Goods news boat not stolen. They offered no other solution, and pretty nasty too. Well I found a legal solution but it takes a little work. First, I paid $19 on line at Boat-Alert and pulled an 8 page history report on HIN. There is was under MA. Info, the original owner info and also the last dude that registered it back in 2016, the most recent owner. Following NYS DMV instructions I drafted a letter requesting title and sent certified mail to this guy. If he works with me great, 1% chance of that. If letter undeliverable or not answered I send proof of these results along with forms to Albany Title Office and they issue new title to me. Going to take between 1-2 months for this to get done. Using old boat for now to keep lines tight and dust free tackle. If anyone wants a template of the letter I sent previous owner or a pic of NYS steps to take to accomplish this, I am more than happy to share. Oh and btw, Vermont Loophole is DOA in 2024 according to many recent videos I watched. They caught on. Ty

@@TBassFactory I've been buying and selling boats in texas that were my personal boats since I turned 18 and I'm 43 now. I don't remember exactly when they started the bonded boat/motor process but before that if you didn't have a paper title there was no way to get it titled in your name, without finding the owners of record to order a lost title and sign it over to you as if you purchased the boat from them. I had to do this on a boat. Now it's a 6 month process for a bonded title. You have to file out the paperwork and send it in to tpwd. If the information on the paperwork checks out then it goes on their website under Abandoned Boats/Outboard Motors Listing. If no one claims the boat then it's yours. If you bring them paperwork from out of state and they have a record of the boat but no record of the owner of record transferring it they will not process the paperwork and consider the boat stolen until you can prove it is not. Check on tpwd website and there is a form that can be downloaded that explains the process. I'm about to have to do this on a jon boat that hasn't been registered since 1978. They have no record of it and I'm going to have to make an appointment to take the boat to them to view.
