Field find seacraft. No title

Capthook · #1 03-02-2016, 07:44 AM

Hey im new here. But not new to seacrafts. I was wondering if I can somehow get a title for a seacraft. We came across one setting in a field the farmer said we can have it but he doesn't have a title its a secptre 23 I believe its a 1975. Its pretty rough but its a seacraft so it doesn't bother me. The old man it not much help and not really willing to help other then letting us have it.. I live in fl and I know its almost impossible to get boat titles. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks you all.

we don't title in Alabama just register... bill of sale and a registration... if it has registration numbers you may be able to back track it... it is his he can apply for a lost title ( if it is a title state ) .... lots of avenues.... just depends on the state your in ..... some states you can rebuild "x" amount and register as home built...

Call a local tag agency, see what they say, also can you locate the hin? It should be stamped on the transom.

I work for FDLE and can also help you, PM me the HIN or old boat registration numbers that were on the side and I can look it up for you.

There's also an outfit out there named International Title that will get you a transferable registration or title for a fee. They do cars, boats, motorcycles and other motorized vehicles.

Piece of cake...

Have company out of Jacksonville, FL.
They can get a title for anything $200-$250 range !

They were able to get my 1968 SeaCraft Seamaster titled as the original owner (At age 14) that I bought off of eBay years ago that had "NO" title!!!

They also helped Blue Heron with his Hewes Bonefisher which had no title
as well !

PM me for Peter's contact info....
