Question Buying "Abandoned" Boats

Figured I'd ask what ya'll thought about this before I called the DNR or the courthouse.

A cousin of mine has a boat in her backyard that has been sitting there for the last 15 months(since sept of '08). The owner was her next door neighbor that got evicted and asked to park the boat in her yard for a couple of weeks until he got a new place. This guy ended up moving across the country and has no use for the boat. He supposedly had a guy that wanted to buy it in May of '09, but that guy never showed up and the guy hasn't called and there is no way of contacting him by address or phone #. My cousin only knows his first name. I'vew gotten the #'s off the hull and trailer and figure I can call the DNR and at least get the guys full name. I figure she'll have to put some kind of quick claim deed or something on it.

My question is does my cousin have legal standing to sell the boat to me for a total Skool's Out price?
