I live in Georgia but will be in Ohio for 5 months and want to use my boat
there. Ohio tells me i need an ohio title to get a registration number,but
i live in georgia,the bill comes for the boat to me in georgia,I have it
financed through honda finance when i bought it new. Any ideas? The title
places in ohio have absolutely no idea what i need to do,one told me i need
an ohio title for it,another told me an out of state resident cant have an
ohio title. They are complete morons it seems in this area.
Thanks for any info you ucan provide.


I boat on Lake Erie and live in Ohio.

If the State of Ohio Department of Motor Vehicles cannot help you out with a
straight answer I would just run with your existing registration. If
stopped just have the registration paper available and tell them you are
only here for the week.

We see plenty of boats with out of state registration numbers here on Lake
Erie. I don't know why the CG or local police would single you out just
because you showed a GA registration on your boat.

If you want I can call the DMV and Cleveland office of the USCG for you
tomorrow to get a straight answer. Just let me know if you want me to. ;-)
