In NC on the boat registration it will have a Y or N as to if the boat has a title. If not titled Notary bill of sale is needed.
Ok. So a boat doesnt have to be titled as long as you have a noterized bill of sale? Also how would i have to go about getting a title for it?Quote:

Go to your local license plate office and they will hook you up. Take your notarized bill of sale and then you can have them do your paper work I just did this last week

I was told by a gent that if the previous owner is out of state it could be a lengthy process.
Trailer is different than a boat.
The owner is in NC also.

The trailer is a different story. Make sure you have the title to the trailer and make sure both of you sign it and make sure it is notarized and you will have to pay for the taxes on it before they will issue a tag

For the boat you will go to a wildlife agent who sells the registration stickers. They will handle your boat title there. When you set it up in your name you will be required to title it as all transactions moving forward require a title. Since it is an older boat it probably has not been titled. If sold in the last 5 years or so it should have a title out there. If it ever has had a lien on it (someone took out a loan on it) there is a title floating around somewhere. Do your homework prior to purchasing as it can get messy if it has been sold several times with the paperwork not being made right each time. I wouldn't buy it if they can't produce the paperwork. It's actually illegal to sell it without the proper paperwork.
My Father bought a used boat a couple of months ago and the Wildlife Registration department was a big help. We found the boat on Craigslist, which made us all suspicious because of all the things you read about. There was a picture of the boat and from that picture I was able to get the NC registration number. I called Wildlife and gave them the registration. The guy gave me the name and address of the owner as on the title. I also did an online search of the Voter Registration database and an online search of the tax database from the county this individual lived in. Everything matched perfectly.
We then knew we had a legitimate seller and proceeded with the purchase. The Wildlife Registration officer said they are allowed to give out name and address because of situations just like what we were going experiencing. As stated by previous individuals, do your homework and that should include contacting the Wildlife Department.
Ok thanks everyone for the information

It can be a pain because folks don't want to deal with it after the sale. I had to threaten to call the SHP one time because a guy sold me a boat and then couldn't produce the paperwork on the trailer. After a little coaxing he got with the previous owner and made it right.
