Need information on Titling a boat.

[Wolf1221]

So I am looking at a 1973 Fiberform Cuddy. It needs work but the current owner does not have a title. He was given the boat from a friend who found the boat on a property he bought so he doesn't have a title either and from doing a Hull Identification Search I can't find any information related to who might have it titled in their name.

I did some digging though and found some paperwork through the DNR called Power of Attorney where they in a way oversee the creation of a new title as long as there aren't liens on the boat. The Boat has been sitting for at least 4 or 5 years. I want it but I want to know how many hoops I am going to have to jump through and what they are.

I would suggest you call the DNR in Springfield with your questions. They have been very helpful for me when titling my boat. It's possible the boat was never titled by anybody.
