Hi all,
I recently purchased a pontoon from a gentleman who lived at the lake we bought property at. He previously purchased it from another homeowner at the lake in 2020. I'm not concerned about watercraft registration as I am with the title of the trailer. The person I purchased from never had it titled/registered. This makes sense to a point as the boat/trailer never left, nor intended to leave the lake as it's a private lake. Nonetheless, I would like to sell the trailer, as I will have a service transport the boat to and from storage being that it will continue to stay at the lake.
My question is, how do I go about retrieving a title in my name? I have the bill of sale (which is also notarized), and the existing title to which the previous sale was initiated in 2020, but that's it. Just wanted to know what I might be getting myself into before I go into the DMV tomorrow. Anyone with experience or knowledge here, please feel free to chime in. Thanks in advance.
