Boat Title or Registration???

[Rowdie]

Lets hypothetically say im buying a cheap boat from a private party and they have no registration or that title card. What's a guy supposed to do?

I purchased a used boat several years ago with same situation. I checked with Game & Fish and was told that titles are not required in ND. Was instructed to provide Game & Fish with a bill of sale reflecting the hull serial number and serial number of motor. G&F was able to provide registration with that info. Was several years ago so not sure if anything has changed.

Thanks I forgot about hull number. What if seller isn't the same as last guy it was registered too?

I didn't say that lol. BUT hypothetically, if a guy has a boat that some other dude just left at his place for 20 years and it's worth say $500 then what?
