I just bought a boat this way! There are several things that have to happen. The current owner of the property will need to send a certified letter to the owner of the boat. They will also need to run an ad in a local paper that the boat will go into auction for 4-6 weeks, if I remember right. Then they need to advertise in local paper there will be a public auction and list the boat. If you win the auction you will then have to take copies of everything I just mentioned to the local DMV and apply for the title. Sounds like your in for a lot of work and research. You can't just apply for a title or have the current property holders give you the OK to remove the boat. You could also have a sheriffs auction but either way you will have to do the public auction process.. Otherwise you could go through all the work of fixing the boat up, and the current owners could come in and claim the boat, and you would be out all your work and money and/or be charged with theft.
