I assume the tag receipt is in the original owners name. If so, you
will
have to have a bill of sale from that person in order to register. A
bill
of sale from the person you purchased it from is meaningless as the
original
owner can claim it was stolen and you have no option but to provide
the
boat
back to the original owner.
Did the original owner say why she would not give you a bill of sale?
You must either get a bill of sale or your money back. You may find
that
you have to sue to get your money back unfortunately if the person is
a
xxxx.

your time. steve





No suit required. Just contact the Department of Motor Vehicles. They
take
an extremely dim view of fraud in vehicle transfers. Tell the person
you
bought from to get the title straightened out or you go to the DMV.
Been
there, got the tee shirt and the money.

Umm, he's in Canada, Bill.

They got DMV and government bureaucracy there also.

So.....because you've done it in CA, you know all about the process in
Canada, and are positive it's exactly the same? Funny, it isn't even
the same between states, let alone countries. How many boat HAVE you
titled in Canada? By the way, in GA, the boat is registered through
the DNR.
