Hello,
I am about to purchase my first sailboat. I live in IN and the boat is in OH, it has a trailer as well.
My state does not require registration of a sailboat that does not have a motor of any kind.
My question is... What paperwork do I need to make sure I get with the boat and trailer? Should the boat have a title or is just a bill of sale OK? I understand the trailer should have a title with it since it has to be registered. It is a factory built trailer. So is a bill of sale on the boat ok or should it have more paperwork like a title or manufacturer statement of origin?
Thanks,
Chris
