Take those outboards you want to sell over to a state where they don't
title them

The above is definetly a option as I live (within 60 miles) on the
edge two other states. Not to mention I have family and friends all
over the place. I will start looking at their laws. I think I will try
and contact the original owners first as I have nothing to hide and
may be my quickest way to a Ohio Title. I think this wishy washy
response from the state is a little to much.

Anyways, I emailed a couple Ohio marinas that I recognize on my
travels for some price expectations. We will see nothing as of yet. If
I get some time this afternoon I will do some online browsing to see
what I can find.

I did call my attorney, do not worry it costs me nothing as I have
legal console thru work, and I found out the below;

"1) send to the previous owner, by certified letter, to each of the
addresses given in the title search
2) if no response is received in 45 days, mail return letters and/or
certified statement that the letters were sent to the previous
owners.
3) Supposedly they will send a letter of authority to have the titles
placed in my name which will get me a title.
4) If I get lucky and one of the owners are still living at the
address given try and get them to sign the title over to me. "

is not a guarantee of a title. It has to go through some state
authority person above most of the people I have already dealt with.
One thing is nice I am glad I started this whole process now in the
off season instead on early spring when I hope to take the motors
out.

I should receive the official response from the state by early next
week. I will follow all their requirements with hopefully a few other
options in my pocket.

Also anybody have any suggestions for any good marinas in Ohio,
Michigan, Indiana, Northern New York Area, and Chicago? I would be
interested in any good online sites as well, even if they are on the
other side of the U.S. as long as they are willing to ship.

Thanks,
