florida boat titles?

[THEFERMANATOR]

All boats in FLORIDA have a title unless it is a designated dinghy or raft. Outboards are not titled as stated. Trailers under 2k pounds dod not have a title, but there must be a registration on file with the DMV for the serial number on it or it mustr be listed as a homebuilt and will be assigned a serial number by the FL DMV. Lost titles are a semi tricky subject as well, but with a little work you can track it down. The problem comes in though if the boat was sold without a title transfer and then the title is lost. If this happens then you must get the last registered owner to file for a lost title and then go through the transfer process. If the last owner is deceased then his next of kin or estate receiver can sign the title so long as they have the proof of ownership or transfer. If the last owner died with no next of kin or such then you are SOL!
