So... I comitted to buying a pontoon boat today for what I think is a fair price. Its a 2000 Landau 20 foot pontoon. The upolestry has been redone and the carpet changed. Not too bad. It has some signs of sun exposure but overall looks ok cosmetically with little TLC. Im concerend with the engine. Its a 1978 Evinrud 85 HP. No idea how many hours but stll runs. Guy im buying in from is a mechanic with a high end car company and services it himself. He bought it about 3 years ago from a guy and had it redone. He says he never realized he didnt have the title for the motor until he tried to sell it. He says he has never had problems with registrataion, but he basically has title for the boat, but not for the motor.
I think im getting it for a good deal, enough where if I have to rebuild or replace the motor I should be ok.
But this title issue has me concerned? Does anybody think im making a bad decision here?
