Dunno about Mich. Here in Florida you can get an "abandoned title" assuming the boat has no liens
or report of being stolen. Check it out directly from your state tomorrow morning first thing.

Vessels 20' and over must be titled in Michigan. Call your local branch of SOS and ask how you go about this. Please post what you find out, I'm curious. Where in Michigan do you live. I'm in St. Clair Shores. Bill Mc ;D

for what you paid for that boat AND trailer. if you cant get paper on it you can still part it out for a nice profit. why cant i find deals like that?

Here's what the link says

Transferring Ownership of a Watercraft

If the watercraft is not titled, simply complete the back of your watercraft registration. If you have lost the registration, then a complete bill of sale with the year, make, hull identification number, registration number (if available), and the names and addresses of the buyer and seller may be used to transfer ownership.



If the watercraft is titled, the assigned title is used to transfer ownership. If the title or registration is lost, a duplicate can be acquired by the owner from a Secretary of State Branch Office. Without an assigned title, registration or bill of sale, a court order or surety bond is needed to transfer the ownership. For more information contact your local Secretary of State Branch Office or the Michigan Department of State, Communications Section at (517) 322-1460.


If the new owner does not want a title and the watercraft does not need a title to list a lien (bank loan), the previous owner’s title is surrendered when the buyer transfers the registration into their name. The Secretary of State Branch Office will arrange to have the previous title cancelled
