[quote=hyperope]I'm freeloading in Georgia, where the law is 14'. I bought the boat a few years ago from a guy who had no title for it. (30 year-old Nacra 5.2 - about 17'). Sent in bill of sale, Id#, and a check. Said they couldn't register it without title. Told me I could get the seller to sign something. Seller was a Navy swab and moved soon after selling the boat to parts unknown. Couldn't find him. Told DNR this; no response. So I'm breaking the law every time I sail. Tried to pay my money, but the state wouldn't take it. Oh well. Have been approached (he knew I couldn't stop) by patrol- asked to see life vests which I had. Asked where registration letters were. Told him I had bill of sale with me (which I did), had submitted paperwork, but no luck getting it all done. He just drove off, probably looking for some drunk redneck going 60 MPH in a bass boat. Will continue to sail this way until otherwise. Hope they don't catch on. Boat looks much prettier without the crappy letters and numbers cluttering up my polished white hulls.[/quote]
