I have a dumb question...I think. I bought a brand new boat in North Dakota from a dealer that is no longer in business. At that time, I was told that ND does not issue titles. I had taken a loan from a local bank and since have paid off the loan. The boat has been registered in ND since I bought it new in 2006.
I am going to sell my boat now and realized I do not have a title. Since ND does not require titles, as told to me by the dealer at the time of purchase, I have no proof of ownership other than my boat registration. What do I need to transfer ownership after I sell my boat? I am concerned as this seems odd to me. I have never sold a boat that I didn't have a title for it and am concerned that I need to find some proof of ownership...can someone provide any guidance? Thanks!
ps...I do have a copy of the Sales Book sheet that reflects purchase price, boat, engine and trailer serial numbers all detailed on their sales receipt letter head. There is a balance due amount listed at the bottom with a hand-written note that states Pd 6/9/06... this is all I have. I also am the registered owner with Lund and Yamaha
