Default I need some advice...

I bought my boat in May of this year. The guy I purchased it from didn't have the title (he still owed on it) but I went ahead and bought it anyway. As of today, 3 months later, I have yet to receive any paperwork for the boat. Should I be worried? I have a bill of sale but I am still hesitant on taking it out too often as I do not want to press my luck and have something happen and then I don't have any real paperwork on it. What should I do?

Get your money back....he can not provide you with a title....more then likely he did not pay off his boat....if he lets it repo the bank will come get there boat from you...and will be stuck....

He already cashed my check (obviously). I never thought about the bank taking it from me because of him defaulting. Anyone know what kind of rights I have as far as getting my money back?

How long does it usually take to get the paperwork from the bank? I know it isn't much more than a week or so for a car.
