Hey this is my first time on this site and its great! Here is my problem...
My father was given a boat when he retired from the Coast Guard. Its been sitting for the last 4-5 years and I decided to see if he was ever going to do anything with the boat, So he gave it to me. My father had all the paperwork in his brief case but he left the case on top of his car.... So I was thinking just have the previous owner get a duplicate title, but the previous owner is active duty CG in Iraq.... Anyone know how to get a new title without having to wait 15 months for this guy to return home? I'm in Maryland but the boat was previously titled in NYC.

I'm confused with the trailer/boat title are they one or does each have its own title?


help thanks a lot

Each state is different. In MD you have a separate paperwork for the boat and trailer. Boat is through DNR Dept of Nat Resources, trailer through MVA. Check with DNR on what is needed for a boat from NY. If the state from which the boat is being sold from does not require a title you may need other paperwork, bill of sale, or something else like that. Check with them first.
