I bought an old 1977 runabout and want to get it registered in
GA, but the last time it was registered was in FL. So far I
haven't been able to contact the last person who registered it,
or even find out who they are. The GA DNR told me to contact the
FL DNR, but it looks like in FL the DMV handles boat
registration. Can anyone tell me the best way of going about
this?

Thanks for any help!

In GA, if you have a bill of sale from the seller, you're good to go.

Yeah, great for the boat thieves who work in this area. It's
irresponsible of the Georgian govt to allow that to happen so freely.
It's not like they don't know it's happening...

Nope. If not homemade, the database has the hull ID number.

The one they stole up here was "homemade"

and had a hin number on the transom and one "hidden" number as
required by law... Either way, I am not saying it's your fault, but
the cops up here were well aware that it probably went to Georgia to
be "cleaned"...

A 12 foot sailboat would not need to be registered, so it would not
need to be "cleaned".

Your sailboat is no doubt still in CT at somebody's lakeside cottage.

There would be no reason to transport it all the way to Georgia.

Listen moron, any boat in CT that is going to be used with an engine or
motor, must have a HIN number, and a CT Registration number too... Any
homebuilt boat, built and sold in CT must have a HIN and to do that it
must be inspected by the DEP. Back then you took your boat to the DEP
office in Lyme, now the local DEP ranger comes to you. The state trooper
I spoke with told me there was a ring operating up and down rte 95
stealing boats and sending them south, go argue with the trooper. The
boat dock where this boat was stored was openly visible right from the
overpass in Old Lyme. I trust the Trooper over the Troll on this one...

Scotty, (not a sock puppet) from SmallBoats.com

As I said, a 12 foot SAILBOAT does not need to be registered in
Connecticut.

You did say it was a sailiboat, ****forbrains.

How's your wife?
