Boat Registration
Posted on 7/30/12 at 11:30 am
Posted on 7/30/12 at 11:30 am
Was wondering if anybody could help me. I have a boat at my camp that washed up from a hurricane over 10 years ago. It's a nice tunnel hull and has no stickers on it or anything to ID it. I was wondering how I would go about registering it so I can put it on a trailer and fix it up to use as my freshwater fishing boat. I know the laws of acquisitive prescription and since it's been 10 years I techinically own it. I just don't know how to go about registering a boat that has been acquired this way. Thanks for any help.

I don't think it can be registered in Louisiana without paperwork...

Is the plate still attached to the back of the boat?

Technically, you possess someone elses shite.

You would need to get a notarized affidavit from a judge or justice of the peace stating the details of how you came in to possession of the boat. That would make you the legal owner & serve as proof of ownership. Then just fill out the registration form & mail it in with the affidavit to LDWF.

I guarantee there are numbers on the hull...unless they were purposefully removed...
...slim chance that part of the boat broke off

Thanks for the info. And no I did not steal the boat you'd be suprised what kind of things turn up in our marsh after a storm surge moves through. Found the boat on one of our levees one afternoon while rabbit hunting and it wasn't a first time thing. We've found multiple boats that are usually destroyed but this one is still in fairly good condition and will need a bit of TLC but after some paint and banging out a few dents it'll be good as new.

Yep. There should be one set on the transom and another hidden somewhere else in the boat. Possibly under a seat or in a compartment.
