It's not that hard to do.
Then, depending on the particular registration system, you send a
registered/certified letter to that individual at the indicated
address. If it's returned unopened, or no longer at this address,
then you have a legal claim on which to process a new title for the
boat in your name.

the previous owner was my grandfather and grandmother. Both of which
are dead, and occasionally get mail at my dads house. Currently, the
"owner" (in name) is my uncle, but he doesn't know where the title is.


Almost all state use this system, or similar system for old/found
boats and antique vehicles.

Here in CT, it's a title search that costs $20, but on every
antique/classic American car I've restored over the years, it has
worked like a charm.
