Been trying to figure out how to get tabs on my boat but the dmv isnt helping much...bought it from my father in law who bought it eight years ago from a woman whose husband passed away..no title and dmv says bill of sale wont cut it..cant find the woman now either.
Any advise would be apprecieated.

You have to file for a new title, it'll take 3 years for completion.   There is a waiting period where you can't even license the boat  (60 days?) not sure

After that period is up then you'll get a special authorization to license the boat and then you can use it,  after the 3 year period is up then you can file for a title in your name.

DMV will send certified letter (open by addressee only) to the last listed owner of the boat, if that person doesn't respond the letter will be sent back to DMV unopened, and they'll start your process.

I recommend you look for another licensing agent,  were you using a contracted licensing place?

Might want to go to a real licensing department if so.

When we bought ours, I just had the guy we bought it from fill out a bill of sale.  Took that to the DoL and told them I purchased it but it had no title.  They had me bring in a picture of the serial number and gave me a title (in dispute title is what it's called when there is no title to transfer) and license on the spot.  In 2 years, if the original owner does not dispute my ownership of the boat, the boat is legally mine and I'll get a clean title.

That was my experience.  It sounds like with the DoL, your experience may vary
