You can repossess the boat if it has not been paid for. It will help if you have signed documents concerning the sale and when and how it was to be paid for. And beware of the physical dangers involved if you try to repo it yourself. Experienced repo men have been killed by people mistaking them for thieves and by people who are just plain mad at being repo'ed.

If you have a receipt from the original owner, you can pay to get a title and from there you can get the liability insurance you need. The title is not particularly needed, but in the case of theft or damage, it will provide you with documentation you need to recover it.
