Unregistered | Since your boat is from out of country, and probably never had the paperwork from the dealer... unless you can get Yves to send you new (old papers)... you are in for a world of pain trying to title it. TOPIC: So without going back through 6 pages of conjecture, how does one register a vessel, in this case a beach catamaran, in the state of florida without a title and how much does it cost? http://www.flhsmv.gov/dmv/faqboat.html#6When a vessel has been sold and the owner is no longer available to provide proof of ownership, how do I, as the purchaser, get information to contact the titled owner in order to obtain the certificate of title? Notify your local tax collector or license plate agency in writing stating the problem and provide the vessel's Florida registration number. The local tax collector or license plate agency may provide the name and address of the titled owner with the necessary instructions for transferring the ownership of the vessel into your name. However, some agencies do not provide ownership information for vessels to the public. Instead, as stated in DMV Procedure TL-07, they may provide the titled owner (by writing directly to the owner of record) with the purchaser's released contact information (name and address) and any necessary instructions. The owner then has the option to contact the purchaser to assist them. You may also contact the department to obtain ownership information for the vessel owner by completing a form HSMV 85054, Motor Vehicle/Vessel Records Request. The department's mailing address is shown at the top of this form. What should the purchaser of a vessel do if the titled owner does not assist in obtaining the certificate of title or an executed bill of sale? A Florida court order would be required to issue a certificate of title in the purchaser’s name. | | | Re: Registering a Hobie in Florida

Posts: 3,969 | TOPIC: So without going back through 6 pages of conjecture, how does one register a vessel, in this case a beach catamaran, in the state of florida without a title and how much does it cost? I think you need the title (unless there's an age cutoff, such as boats older than 10 years don't need a title). Is this a new boat, or bought from the original owner? You might be able to work through the dealer/manufacturer to obtain a copy of the certificate of origin, and try to go from there. Mike | | | Re: Registering a Hobie in Florida

Posts: 678 Palm Beach County | I have never registered my cat and if asked I'll play dumb, it usually works. I think Hans gave a bill of sale that I tucked away somewhere 30 years ago. There will have to be a grandfather clause somewhere if taken to task.
In Palm Beach County we do have a special Annual Parking Permit for county parks that have saltwater access for boat trailers. I wouldn’t feel so bad if they taxed all the golf carts at the same time but you know us Yachtsmen we have deep pockets right?
We use to have a county commisioner who was a cat sailor and boater years ago, that supported our causes. I think he is out of jail now - he accept donations.

Posts: 12,310 South Carolina | so house hunting, large garages, state income tax, cinderblock house construction etc are all acceptable off-thread comments, but talking about state budgets are political and non acceptable?
I call BS
I wasn't starting a political discussion, we are talking about florida still..This is a FORUM for goodness sake... get over it if the topic goes a little off skew Pretty much...but political discussions take 2 responses to degrade to name calling and hateful retort. Getting off track about something simple like housing is innocuous.

Unregistered | I contacted Yves when the law went into effect. No responce. I also called Jill to ask if she may have been the dealer for my cat... she then contacted the State Tax Chief(?) who didn't even know about the new law. The info Jill gave me didn't satisfy me (her answer was opposite what the new law stated) , and at the time she was using the "boat exclusively for racing" answer... which seems to no longer be a valid remedy Someone on our beach has some blank dealer forms that could be fudged and used. I personally will wait for a ticket before i take any actions. Even if i got a ticket, i wouldn't go with the fake forms. It's not worth the risk to me Since your boat is from out of country, and probably never had the paperwork from the dealer... You're in the same boat, are you not? Any plans to contact Yves or just let it ride?
