I just decided to fix up and old jon boat i had laying around an old farm pond for fishing. I have no Paper Work for the boat and have noidea the previous owner or if there even was one i could manga to get a bill of sale from my uncle being that the boat was at his pond. Anyone know how i could get this boat registered and in the water?
It would be best to give the title folks a call. Sometimes it can be a real pain in the a** to get a boat or trailer titled:(. One time I went in, carrying my boat registration, to get the renewal. The lady told me they had no record of the boat being titled! I replied, "well, I've got the old papers in my hand", but this was to no avail. I had to re-register the boat.....:confused:.

I asked her what part of inherited from my deceased grandfather she didnt understand or if she knew a really good medium that could conference him in.
sowine, good help is hard to get.

Go by your local revenue office and they can provide you with a blank bill of sale. Fill it out, sign where appropriate, take it back in and let them help ya.
I've done a couple and if you have no motor on it, its nothing.
fishtaco is right...it's not all that difficult and if you come up with a trailer for it later on, just say it's homemade and it won't be hard to get it titled eitherQuote:

Well i got a bill of sale and filled it out, Would putting the make of boat and serial number complicate things?
My wife is one of the sweet ladies at Ar. Revenue. My dad's boat hadn't been reg. in a few years. Brought in old reg #'s which were on the boat (a 1985 Duracraft)...system couldn't find a record. She told me to find the "hull #" (on stern0. When they looked it up, they found it in the system.
Soswine,
That is funny as all get out.
Just got back from rev office and all went well they kinda made a fuss about it at first but eventually they did thanks to everyone for help
It wouldn't be a visit to the Revenue office without it. There's always something going on down there. I just wish they'd offer haircuts too. I'd hang out there more often. :D:D
