In fact, a few years ago, there was an interstate theft ring who would
haunt interstate highways looking for late model boats from non-title
states. They would steal a boat with a CT registation for example,
re-register it in say Alabama, then flip that registration to a title
state like Mississippi.

That's the way it's done around here for boats having no title -
useful trick for garage sale specials, etc.
