I need help finding the owner of a boat

[Grub Master]

I have found a boat that the owner has filed bankruptcy and has no interest in keeping the boat.
I plan on buying the boat from the bank but need the owners name to find the lien holder.
If I have the registration number is there a way to find the owner?
DNR won't help.

I would think Leos might be some help but I really don't know. I would think they have a way to track the registration.

Where is the boat? Can you go to the county it's registered in and go to the tag office?

This , i would have thought DNR would have helped out some if you had registration number

The registration # will only lead you to the last person who registered the boat. If someone bought it from that person and never registered it, there is no way to find them.

Then that person commited a crime selling a boat that was under lien.

How do you know the boat has a lien?

is it on a trailer? and was the trailer purchased as part of the package? try the trailer tag or VIN if it was

How do you know the owner has no interest in the boat or that he has filed bankruptcy, if you don't know the owner. This is very confusing.

If your buying it from the bank wouldn't the bank be the lein holder?
