Getting title for old boat?

[Predator]

Yes, you need to take your boat to the State Police Marine Division ( Jersey City area) for an inspection. Once it's inspected by a trooper and passes they present you with a document that includes a newly issued serial #. You then take that document to Nj Motor Vehicles to generate your own Title (Bill of Sale) and registration. It's a huge pain in the ass. Basically the njdmv can't issue you a registration without proof of ownership.Good luck.
