hello all, i have a quick question for anyone who may have an answer and some advice to go with it, ....i live in ohio, and across the state line in indiana this guy has a sweet old 16 ft. fisher marine jon boat with a 15hp evinrude, i want to upgrade from my 12 ft jon, only issue is he got the boat before 1986, so in indiana he did not need a title, therefore never got one since then, now ohio requires a title for the boat/motor because the motor is over 10hp, now this boat i can get for 500$, i am wondering what i should do, and how difficult it will be to obtain a clean new ohio title? he does have it registered, or did a while back, it has hull numbers.....i really dont want to get stuck with a boat that i can do nothing with, how hard is this going to be, or would it be easier to have him go get a title, which im not sure i can get him to do or not, if its not that much trouble ill apply for it myself...please any advice is so greatly appreciated, as i think this could be a very good deal on my part im just lost .......

Call Ohio DMV or whoever handles boat/motor registrations and ask them. Surely it can be done, since many states do not register outboards at all.

If you can get them to do it Ohio hast to honor Indian laws.

If they won't (good chance of that) buy the thing get a bill of sale police inspection in Indiana.
When you get to the bmv in Indiana you can get a title for the boat but Indiana doesn't title outboard.
