Question About Title

I inherited a 1978 AMF Sunfish & a Boston Whaler from a friend's Mom. She cannot find any documentation for either boat and I am wondering what to do about registration/titling and such?
 
if your state requires a title, I would just explain the situation to them.

for my latest Sunfish purchase, they took the hull ID number, and ran it through their records database - it came up clean (no previous owner records), so they just created a new title for me.

yep, any state should have some sort of system to file for a lost title.

glad boats under 14ft here dont have to be registered :)
 
First make certain that your state requires a title for a Sunfish. . . many don't. At least one state I know of does not require a title under 14', but, if you get one, THEN you have to register with fish & game, put a long registration number on the boat, and pay an annual fee.
 
Here in NH, titles are not required for boats or trailers, but sailboats over 12 ft. must be registered. Sailboats <20 ft. to not require registration numbers on the hull, only the registration decal.
