    I found an abandoned boat in Nevada. How do I get title to it.
    The boat is for sale by a private party. The seller says the owner left it with them because it had a brpken motor. The owners have not returned or contacted the seller in more than a year. I want to buy the boat, but I want to do it within the law.

    It is not necessariy legally abandoned - what means has the "seller" used to contact the owner? That comes first.

    The "seller" presumably has the address of the owner and needs to get title.

    Here is the info and the phone number to call - Nevada Vehicle Registration

    I looked at that link and don't see anything about title registration for boats. If there is a trailer, it needs to get registered, but I don't know about the boat.
