This may not be the best place to ask this question, but I figure someone here might have had the same types of issues. <br /><br />I'm trying to figure out how to handle the title/registration for this boat, and I just wanted to know if anyone has had a similar experience. Here it goes... This boat doesn't have a title, and obviously hasn't been registered in years. I bought it through a charity group in Georgia, and they gave me a bill of sales (all that is required for a transfer of ownership in that state.) I have spoken with the previous owner, who lives in PA, and they (obviously) never had it registered. I also spoke with the man whom the previous owner bought it from, and he said it was given to him as "junk". Basically he was disposing of it (good thing I found it!) Anyway, to make a long story short, the WV Dept. of Motor Vehicles makes you jump through all kinds of hoops to get _anything_ done. When I spoke with someone at the DMV, they said if it has EVER been titled, it should still have a title somewhere, and I have to acquire it in order to register the boat. Of course, to get the boat registered, it has to have a title. This is a problem, of course, since the boat was "thrown away". I was (and still am) hoping they'll let me get a new salvage title or something. The other option is if I can title it as a "new construction" or something like that.<br /><br />I'm sure this situation isn't all that uncommon in the boat restoration world. <br /><br />Has anyone else encountered this? How did you resolve it?<br /><br />Note 1: This also applies to the trailer.<br /><br />Note 2: this relates to my previous topic: http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=26&t=003682
