I purchased a used boat from a local marine dealership 4 months ago. My bank and I both have, repeatedly, asked for the title to the boat. The dealership cannot provide the title, nor will they give me a straight answer regarding the status of the title. Was this sale legal if he title is disputed or involved in litigation?
In simple terms, you need the title. That is proof of ownership. Candidly I am surprised the bank lent you $$$ on the boat without having title. If the seller, especially a dealership, does not provide the title you have to seek a legal remedy and force him to give you title. The above is not nor should it be considered legal advice, or the acceptance of representation. It is a generalized answer to a legal inquiry.
