Hey guys. Was hoping someone had some info. Recently was given a 11’6” Jon boat and a trailer for it. From what I can find neither needs a title due to size. Aside from a notarized bill of sale anyone know what else the MVC might need? Little back info. The boat has registration stickers on it. The earliest I can see is 88 or 89 with the oldest being 71. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I have a apptwith MVC June 15th. Just trying to make this as painless as possible.....I’m sure it won’t be LOL. Do they ask for pictures?
I understand the under 12ft no title is needed only reason I’m registering the boat is so I can put my electric outboard on it. And as I understand it the trailer also has no title cause it weighs under 2500 pounds. Great fun for any info

It won't hurt you to have an officially notarized letter explaining the situation of how you got the boat and why it doesn't have a title, signed by you and the previous owner. That's the document i used when i was given a similar sized boat and i had no issues, but that was probably 12 years ago at this point.

for the trailer, idk, i have a small trailer for my current boat and it still needed a title, registration, everything.... previous owner had all that though so i didn't have any issues.

dont' go to randolph dmv, that's my last bit of advice hahaha
