Buying "Abandoned" Boats

[THEFERMANATOR]

That is a tricky subject. First thing you will have to do is report it to the DMV and let them know that it has been stored at your cousin's place and that it was supposed to be removed months ago and that you want to put a lien against it for storage. Where it gets real tricky is your cousin probably isn't licensed to be storing a boat and could get bit that way. In any case they will contact the owner and let them know that you are filing a lien against it. If they don't respond to the lien then you can get a new titled issued to you. I doubt they will tell you who the registered owner is as I've tried that before and they wouldn't tell me due to the privacy laws.
