Default beware of buying siezed boats from NM

I bought a boat that was siezed from National Marine. I felt good about the deal because I was buying from the bank. Andrew S. is the "receiver" and is a lawyer handling the transaction. My offer was made based upon clear title for boat and trailer. I got the title to the boat but they can't provide me with the title to the trailer. you would think that a lawyer would make it right but Andrew won't even return phone calls. I know that a lot of people have been screwed a lot worse than me and I am sorry for those people. Are there any lawyers in Ohio that want one more case?

I know that my complaint is petty but I just wanted to warn people who were planning on buying. Make sure that they have all titles in hand.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of trailer is it and what kind of boat does it go to?

Some states do not title trailers and just have a registration only. Did you recieve a registration form with the trailer?

No titles required on Florida trailers either.

the response i got from MAXIMA5 on this thread

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...light=National


"No One has wired money and not had a clear title sent to their doorstep within a matter of days.
Trailers, on the other hand, are a little tricky tracking down the paperwork."


good luck!

In NY, if you can't track down a title you can register it as a homemade.

Trailers?

- A Certificate of Tide is not required on any Utility Trailer weighing less than 4,000 pounds or a boat trailer. To obtain license plates you must get a weight card from a license bureau and have the trailer weighed.




- Utility Trailers and Commercial Trailers or Semi-Trailers weighing in excess of 4,000 pounds must have a Certificate of Title. To sell, transfer or mortgage such trailers the Certificate of Title must be presented.
================================================== ========

So get a notorized bill of sale since I doubt he has the registration.
A new trailer comes with a Certificate of Origin.
All we do is show bill of sale and get it weighed to get a registration and plates.
No title is issued.

What he said. No title required on my Eagle trailer. Just a bill of sale and weight slip. Triple axle steel Eagle trailer for a 382 Formula tips in at just over #3000, so your Myco for a '46 might be just a little more if aluminum.
