Default Strange legal mess - boat.

Not that that will do you a lot of good in CA.

I sold a 1970 Nissan pickup. Filed the appropriate DMV paperwork. About
two years later I get a nastygram from some property owner 120 miles away (but
near where the new owner was going to school) telling me to get my truck off
his property. Fortunately I worked with his mom.

I sold a Yamaha motoscooter. Filed the appropriate DMV paperwork. DMV
sent me a registration bill about nine months later. I got that one straightened out
by CA DMV's solution to all wierd problems. It's a form called "Statement of
Facts". It's more or less a blank piece of paper with a place at the bottom to
sign under penalty of perjury. It also straightened out an inheiritance problem.

Bill of sale was primarily so new owner could regiter said boat.
As luck would have it we did have a copy.
As **** luck would have it, wife *disposed* of said copy 2 weeks before this
all came down while she was weeding out the files of old stuff. She didn't
have to admit this.... heh

... This was three years ago. All I
remember was that I gave the guy a bill of sale and that he was from
Londonderry NH.


I gather you didn't keep a copy of the BoS?





In calif, you file a notice with the DMV when you sell a vehicle. Boats included.
