Bought my 94 crestliner about 1-1/2 ago from a dealer here in Pa. eventually got titles in the mail for boat and trailer which I locked in a safe and never looked over.This week I sell the boat to a gentlemen from MD. I gave him the titles to look at while standing in my driveway before going to do the transfers at a notary.He looked over the titles and off to the notary we go and do the transfer.The following day he calls telling me that the boat has a salvage title. Again I never looked at the title in the time I owned the boat.So I call the dealer that sold me the boat and they tell mevI need to call the PA fish and boat commission so that's what I do,I gave the lady the hull I'd number and she looks in the computer system and finds that the owner prior to me put an ins. claim in back in 2012 which was the cause of the salvage title.Looking at the boat you can tell there was never any kind of serious damage that was repaired and the fish and boat don't know what the claim was for.So 3 yrs went by and this boat was never issued a salvage title until it went into my name in 2015 and the lady at the fish and boat commission admitted they missed it.So now my question is how is this to be handled for the gentleman who boat the boat from me in MD.I just don't want to end up in a legal battle over something I knew nothing about.
