  1. Ive got a final update on my situation. Miraculously, my Grandfathers brother who had the boat and lost the title has found it thanks to being quarantined. Looks like Ill be trouble free registering it now. Hopefully this forum is going to help down the line. Thanks for all the help!
  2. So ive banked down to looking into a salvage title. Is this something I can do? If so, whats the easiest way. My concern now is the boat being last registered in New York, now being in New Jersey. My grandfathers brother who had the boat (lost the paperwork) found the registration for the trailer when it had new york plates. Im sure that does nothing for me as the DMV here in jersey would give me the typical “the trailer has no connection to the boat” line. Im trying to avoid buying an entire boat, transferring paperwork, and having to deal with a scrap boat for that whole period. Plus im not abundant with money since im in college. Again any help is greatly appreciated!
  3. Interesting, Ill try that once we have the DMV working again... thanks for the tip!
  4. The date on the sticker is 04, so ill assume it was last registered then. Weve tried going to his state registrar with no results. Also a notarized bill of sale has done no better. Salvage is my last hope sadly. Any recommendations on where I can get a good deal on a pos with a title?
  5. Hello all, Im new here so if im in the wrong forum feel free to redirect me. Heres my situation. Ive got ahold of my grandfathers 1990 sea nymph fishing machine 161. Great little boat. Ive replaced a whole bunch on it including the floors and got it running and looking great. Heres the problem, I cant use it anywhere. We have no sort of documentation of the boat. Hes tried working with the DMV of new york for months, with no luck. I live in New Jersey, so theres no luck here either. What Ive read on here is that you can get a title from an abandoned/salvaged boat. My question is, does it have to be a 16 foot boat similar to mine? Or can I get say a 14 or 18 foot boat and tell the DMV that ive done modifications and now it measures 16 feet?? Im lost here and would love to know anyones input on how I can get this boat on some real water besides the backyard canals. Thanks everyone and hope youre all stayin safe during the virus!
