I think you will be required to apply for a "certificate of origination". I don't know about Fl, but in NY you can go to the DMV and get a certificate of origination, fix the boat, and use the certificate as a title to register it. If the person your getting it from can vouch for authenticity of ownership or at lease claim title, then its super easy. The only caveat is that it won't read Sea Craft, Bayliner, Grady White or whatever make the boat is....it will read HOME BUILT.
