[QUOTE="ober51, post: 94731, member: 1354"] ANOTHER roadblock in my quest to register the boat. I contacted the PO, he didn't register the boat. I asked for the name of the guy that he bought it from, he doesn't know his last name. I contacted the DEP in Connecticut, they need the year the auction took place or some other information, and I can't get that unless I am able to get in contact with the first owner, the guy who bought the boat at auction and then sold it to the guy who sold it to me - and that's not possible since I dont have his last name. Various departments in both NJ and CT State Departments have told me the boat was never claimed stolen or anything, so I should be able to register it, but they are wrong. The NJ DMV I went to will not relent on some form of registration. I may have another option - I sent in a request for Vessel History for $20 to CT. They will send me back whatever information they have on the boat, which I am guessing shows it was a CT state Dept of Fisheries vessel that was sold at auction and never registered thereafter. I will then take that to a DIFFERENT DMV in NJ (there are a couple near me) and try from scratch. If that doesn't work, I might see if I can claim this boat abandoned and get it titled to myself. I doubt that will work given that part of the process to do so requires me to go to the NJ State Marine police to get it inspected....which I have already done and they have already put in paperwork. It seems that I should have claimed it abandoned on my property (or my grandfather's property or something) from the get go. I really don't think this is going to be resolved. I asked the DMV what the next step would be, and they said, "I don't know, but CT will have some paperwork." WRONG. It's almost unreal for me to say, but this boat may be headed to the scrap yard.
