So I just bought a used boat from out of state. I am the third owner. The previous owner never registered the boat. I have the certificate of origin for the boat and motor and both the bill of sale between him and I as well as him and the previous owner. Will this suffice with LDWf to get the boat registered in my name?

The boat isn't the hard part. There's a couple extra hurdles but nothing crazy...

The part that's going to make you want to just go sink the fricker in the lake is getting the title and registration for the trailer, if it wasn't titled and registered in the former state, depending on the state.

Might as well bend over now...

Have fun.

I have the title for the trailer, however the cow at the title company told me that both I and the guy I bought it from need to sign the back. After filling out my portion I realize that the assignment on the back is from a dealer or agent not an individual. So I have probably screwed by title up.

Happened to me several years ago. I think the first thing I had to do was prove I paid sales tax.

Title transfer place handled mine for me. Took about 90 minutes and I had to walk them through a lot of it but got it done. Way better option than the DMV.
