with out a title (or docutation )the boat is worthless and in many states you are breaking the law selling it without one

If you are still in touch with the previous owner you can do a bill of sale from him to you. In Ohio you take that to the title bureau and they will trace with the HID to issue you a title.

if the title is .in previous owners name and lost he can get a duplate .Other wise good luck . check with the state on what you need . many people end up stuck with boats they pay for do not own.

Hampton ... $56k? 300BTA, Color Radar, new canvas - must be it ...

Interested in trading down on size to an F32 with twin Cummins 6BTAs?

here in NJ, you can sell an older boat without a title, providing you can supply them with a pencil tracing of the Hull number, I bought two boats that way, they will issue another title in your name, so maybe you can title it here in NJ, and then sell it to yourself in another state, hey its been done
