    Had my boat on Craigslist for the last month. Not being bottom painted I rarely used it due to putting it in and taking it out every time. Only thing is, if that sells I still have 11 other boats (36’ Pacemaker, 20’ Grady, 2 15’ Whalers, 2 Waverunners, 2 Sunfish sailboats and the 3 kid’s Opti sailboats)

    Last year we didn't get ours in until mid June cause it was getting a new cone clutch installed. My step-father passed away in August last year so our season was basically done then. They had a boat too and we would raft up occasionally. We lost our climate controlled storage. We bought a Mustang convertible and have been cruising around in it all summer so just haven't used it much.

    Solid hulls if you can find the right one. Original side windows are notorious for leaking but one of my projects was replace them years ago.

    If I could afford a slip I'd have one.   I'd love a set of old Detroit, Isuzu or cummins motors to go with it.   

    Free one currently in Waccamaw, SC.  Runs good but has termite infestation.

    Never thought about termites on a boat. Interesting.

      Certain times of year they take flight down here.  Not sure if that's the case up north.  But, if they find wood wherever they land then they go to town.  So any nearby infested home, dock, building or fallen log that is upwind from your boat can lead to an issue.

    @davidbrooks Did you happen to swing thru Harness creek over the weekend?  I saw one similar in there.  Boat looks great!

    Awesome boat man........!

    definitely catches your eye. The varnished wood is a head scratcher tho.

    Edit: windshield is supercool.

    Agreed, and also the tumblehome transom.  That's just instant hotness.

    I may have to declare the boat as abandoned in order to register it.  This is so frustrating.  MD is a state that titles and registers boats.  Not all states do this.  In Canada i have discovered they don't title.  They require....(politely ask) boat owners to register the boat and take a user licensing course.  So in CA all i am required to get is a bill of sale.  Which i did.

    Now come down to MD. The DNR used to be helpful.  Then they collocated them with the DMV staff and the attitude went downhill.  The website  Boat Registration (maryland.gov) states that i need:

    "Vessel is registered in a non-title state:

    • DNR Form B-240
    • Copy of out-of-state registration card or a true test copy of that state’s official vessel record
    • Original Certified / Notarized Bill of Sale
    • A bill of sale must include the names of the buyer and the seller, date of sale, seller’s signature, amount of sale and vessel description (year, manufacturer, hull identification number and/or current registration number).
    • Original lien release if card or record shows a recorded lien."
    The issue is that the owner cancelled his boat registration and tossed his copy of the paperwork.  When you call the registration agency they cite privacy laws and tell me they can't help me.  MD DNR also changed the requirement when you go in person to require original or wet signatures.  No copies.  Which isn't what is posted above.   Grrrrr.

    So, I am stuck.  Unless the owner can find an old copy of the registration, he can't even get a copy himself.  The only thing the registration agency can give him is a copy of the cancellation.  My only other option it looks like is to follow the process of registering an abandoned boat.  Send the previous owner a registered letter and put an ad in a local paper.

    Have the broker (or seller) go here: https://www.pcl-pep.snbservices.ca/1001/PubWeb/Default.aspx?lang=en-CA

    All the broker/seller needs to have is the seller's info (photo of driver's license) and the boat registration number and they can get you a copy of the pleasure craft license which should match your bill of sale and satisfy MD DNR.

    The broker/seller should cancel the Ontario registration for you since the boat will be re-registered outside of Ontario.

    If you used a broker, it's pretty disappointing that they didn't do all of this for you.

    @YYZRC Thank you.  I will send it over and see if they can do this.  I spoke with the transport department this morning and they told me that becuase the registration was cancelled this will likely not work.  They told me that the only thing they could send out was a copy of the cancellation.  No harm in trying though.

    Our 2006 Crownline is up for sale. It's a 250CR with AC, windlass, 2016 trailer, the works (no gennie). Just picked it up from the shop last night. Had a very small yolk seal leak that was dripping into the bilge and my mercathode was broken somewhere so they fixed that. Everything on the boat works now except a turn signal on the trailer and that will be fixed before it goes. $37,000. Western PA
