[QUOTE="1960 yellowboat, post: 467073, member: 24593"] I enjoy finding old aluminum boats on Craigslist and restoring them to sell. There are quite a few of them to be had here in Florida. However, many of the sellers don't have a title and want to sell them with just a bill of sale. After checking with the DMV and FWC, I found out that YOU CANNOT get a title issued on a BOS. If you buy a boat without a title, it is up to you to do a title search, sometimes from the manufacturer all the way to the seller. This will take a lot of time and money. It just isn't worth the hassle. I suspect that many states have the same laws. Just my "Word to the wise" Any of you guys experience similar problems? [/QUOTE]
