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. If you have a Florida Registration number on the side of the boat, contact Florida find the last legitimate person to register the boat with that number. That's what the GA DNR suggested, but the FL DMV won't tell me anything about it. I asked them if they could at least tell me whether it was stolen or not and they wouldn't even say that. Working both ends, from the last legitimate owner and the person you purchased the boat from, you should be able to get something accomplished. The person you dealt with in the purchase could be guilty of dealing with stolen merchandise. I'd hate to see him get in any trouble since he tried to do it right, but since he provided me with a notorized bill of sale that might help him if things eventually get ugly. |
