Default help with boat that was sold illegally

I'm in GA and bought a boat from someone who got it from someone
else. It came from and is currently still registered in FL, where
the someone else supposedly got it from "his brother". The person
I got it from gave me a notorized bill of sale, but the someone
else he got it from didn't give him anything, never has had the
title and never has registered the boat.

How do you know it is titled in Florida? Do you know who is named on
the title and/or registration, and can you contact them?

If you can't resolve it that way and want your money back, I'd sue the
seller in small claims court and let law enforcement handle the other
details.
