It's amazing the number of people that simply don't register and title their jetski's. Over the last couple ears I've liked and almost bought a dozen ski's. Only to have the seller say "I never put the ski's in my name, and th title is in a third persons name.".
In Texas the process to get a "lost" title transferred to your name is almost impossible. You are requires to find thetitle owner and then have them sign an affidavit saying they have no interest in te ski's. As many know, people move all the time.
