Got a 1972 17' STARBUCK boat, motor and trailer given to me. No title. No registration numbers. Owner took them off. Guess he was going to replace them but never got around to it. He died. Can't find any hull numbers on the boat anywhere. No wife cuz she died a few years back. Son gave me the boat befor selling the house and had no idea where the papers were. Said he would send them when found. Been two years now. I can't find the son. Tried everything. Phone, mail, registered mail, internet, other neighbors. When he sold the house he must have taken the money and retired on his dads estate. Hell, I don't know. Basicly, he's gone. So now I have a good boat, motor and trailer with no papers and no owner. I'm trying to keep it legal. But I need a title. Any ideas? WWU Do? Don't want to go to jail now!!! Any law men out there that can advise me? (How to put on handcuffs is not the advise I need.)
