what does the paperwork (title and registration) say it is?

It simply breaks my heart when I see a beautiful boat like that covered in snow. The upholstery must be cringing in horror.

I realize not too many people know how to properly set up a boat on a trailer, but that winch stand setup is the worst job I have ever seen.

The redeeming feature about the whole picture is that whoever parked it there had enough sense to keep the outboard motor level.

The boat and trailer certainly have Identifying marks somewhere. If no paperwork came with the boat it is simply a yard planter.

Welcome aboard.

It depends where you are if the paperwork you have will work.

Almost certainly not. Just like the registration for your car, it says year, manufacturer and serial number. I don't know of any state that lets you register a motor vehicle with the ID "Boat".

Nevertheless, none of here know the real answer. Call, you local motor vehicle department and ask them.

The picture does not show any registration numbers. Was it ever legally registered? Maybe call the previous owner before you call the DMV.
