No titles in Alabama, I bought one last year from So. Carolina, owner gave me several titles/official documents on boat, motor, & trailer.

The right legal way is to go to the DMV tell them, that you want to get a title for a boat that you bought.. They will give you the last known address of the title.. You have to send a certified letter to that address asking for the title, if it comes back unopened then you take that to DMV and get started... If it comes back opened well then hopefully there is a title in it.. Or they could say thanks for contacting me I would like my boat back..

I went last week to do just that for a boat I got from a person who brought it with out a title from the owner It was regestered in calif. The DMV here gave me the guys name but would not give me his address to send him a letter so I'm stuck or what else can I do.

bossgobbler, Thought you would like to know...I just saw a porta boat (12ft) on Pensacola craigslist for $400. Looks like it's a 3 seater with the oars. Beats buying off line and not being able to see it first. Good luck with your search.
