Can you apply for a bonded title?

I know nothing of this hull. Tho, one would think the lettering could provide some type of trail. Hard to imagine there was ever a day someone would get their hands on a ski but not know where it was from especially if the sale was legit.

After a certain amount of time, and as kevbo said, application for abandon title are worth looking depending on state rules.

Several years ago, my local CA DMV told me about a formal “request for information” process people can go through where the DMV will release the current owner’s information to the requestor for type of situation. I wonder if there is something equivalent in WA? What does your DMV (or equivalent) suggest as your next step when you tell them you have no way to contact the registered owner?

“Had a friend” found a title from another unit that was “lost” he 3D printed rear tag, riveted it in nice and clean. Now, this has worked for a couple of water/stop checks. Comes back clean. BUT I am not so sure if you got pulled over on the road it would hold up. Recent stories in Texas guys getting the “other” vin locations checked. You can guess what happens when they don’t “match”. Sadly, I know ask about titles when out shopping “marketplace” adds. I picked up a spare Yamaha Venture title recently..
good luck on your search

If you are friends with an officer you can have them run the VIN and get the owners info. Or buy a junker that has a title.
