Have you tried contacting Ohio dmv and searching the bow numbers? Don’t know what your title situation is.
 
if there are state numbers on it, then there is a title or registration on it.
 
This may be helpful. http://www.fiberglassics.com/library/index.php?title=File:Orlandoclipperbb006.jpg
Also, one cool thing I read was the Orlando Clippers were made using the aluminum from WWII Aircraft.

The person i got it from said there’s never been a title

Ok, I don't know about Ohio's regulations, but here in Iowa, we don't have a "title" either. At least, not like a car title. What we're required to do, to use a watercraft on public waterways, is to register the boat with the local county recorder's office. That gives you a registration document and numbers to put on the bow for identification. (You do have to buy your own numbers.) The registration amounts to the equivalent of a title of ownership. We're required to renew every three years, assuming we still own the craft.

That alpha-numeric number on the bow should at least let you get some info as to year, make, and model of boat, assuming the recorder folks will tell you anything.

Do tread lightly, though. The last known, registered "owner" is still the owner of record, according to the county. If he's an unscrupulous person, he could claim it back, and you'd be out.
I got a heck of a deal on a boat once, but to make everything legal, I had to run documents through my local DNR, and they contacted the last owner of record. I did end up owning the boat, but they could have claimed it as stolen at some time in the past, and gotten it back, without recourse on my part.
