do not buy a boat that is registered in fl without a title. i don't care what the dealer tells you. fl is a TITLE state, a bill of sale is no good. fl does not title outboard motors, boats & trailers only. if SC is not a title state & will accept a bill of sale from a fl registered boat without a title, no problem. i would ask the authorities in SC first. the only way you can get a current title is to get the last registered owner( the fl numbers follow the boat) to apply for a lost title & then get them to transfer it to you.
