Default What to do with boat with no title and bank doesnt want??!!

A friend of mine in Tampa met a neighbor this past weekend and they got to talking and turns out the neighbor has a seadoo jetboat that he doesnt want. He went to the bank to give it back to them cause he cant aford to pay for it but they said dont want it!! Its been sitting in his garage for 8 months now with no peep from bank? He stopped paying for like a year ago and nothing!! Any way of getting the title from the bank in this case? I'd love to get my hands on this model...

walk in the bank and write them a check ,and release the lien & you leave with a title. sounds pretty easy

And I'd guess that's probably the reason the bank doesn't want it.

I'd offer pennys on the dollar and see if they bite. What can they say? No??

Like said, go low ball them an offer (real low). If they want it off their books they will take it.

Odds are they will take a low offer or at least counter. A friend of mine did the same thing with a bass boat that was owed 16K he paid 3k and the bank said they would have gone lower if he had offered less! It's worth a try.
