Your never gonna make any money on a boat as an "Investment".
Make sure you get the title in hand (this may take a few weeks in some states), and chalk it up as a lesson learned.
Go enjoy your boat.

My point exactly.
That makes you a "Stand-Up Guy".

Re: Internet Fraud? Please Help
I buy and sell stuff all the time and I would make fun of you for not having a HIN ledgeble and no title...Hell that would be stupid and no excuse BUT when I bought my last boat it took me two(2) days to figure out that the seller(bob) and the title owner(not bob) where two different people.. 
I had the boat and a signed title BUT who signed it and who the F is Not Bob?
It was all fine but in the rush of doing a deal and getting rid of my old boat I had failed to realize he(Bob) had jumped the title on the boat I just bought...He did it again when he sold my former boat 4 days later for a pontoon he needed....I did have a Bill-of-sale and many witness's and property...just floored myself that I missed such a HUGE detail!!
