Well, I might have questions. I have 2 boat I got for free. One I got like 10+ years ago, it was last registered in WI, and the other one I got (1982 Hydrostream Vamp) a few years ago that was also last registered in WI and I dont have a title for either of them. The Vamp I got from a guy here in MN and he had it for a number of years and he didnt have a title, and the other one was at a marine repair place that was selling one of their storage properties and it had been there for like 5 years at that point. Someone brought it in for an estimate or something and once he heard the price he didnt want the boat back or something and they never heard from the guy again. Its a really nice old jet boat that I want to convert to an outboard but I dont want to do anything without a title.Yeah, I think anyone who looked at the boat probably got scared away between the "no title for boat or trailer" and the amount of rot that was in it. I was able to get a trailer title, and the boat registered to me with some help from the DMV and a couple days of leg work.

I feel your pain! You should see my Vulture rebuild (I really need to post updates to my build, I'm way behind on that). Someone did the same thing. Replaced the core from the seat box back with home depot plywood, tons of voids under it, glues down with what looked like bondo or something, then just poured resin in it and brushed it over the plywood. Along the stringers had to be almost 2 inches thing of resin. No mat over any of it. It was a nightmare and I almost gave up on it many times.They had done some "repairs" over the years, replacing some of the core with plywood and just pouring resin on it
