Questions on getting a title for a 1976 440
I just purchased a 76 JS440 stand up from a friend. It has the majority of its parts and a damaged fuel tank and quite a bit of fuel line thay needs to be replaced, It has been repainted so its original decals are gone and doesn’t yet run.
I live in Wyoming where jet skis were not required to have a title until 2010 (though I think it wasn’t just Wyoming, correct me if I’m wrong) now however they are required to have a title for registration. I have a notarized bill of sale and have yet to have it HIN inspected.
What kind of resistance can I expect to have getting it titled amd registered? Would I need to get a bonded title, would that even be required as Im fairly certain the machine in its condition would not be valued high enough for that to be the case.
What is the best way for me to go about it (assuming the HIN inspection that Im getting on it on Monday doesnt turn up that it was stolen at some point in its life.)
