    No Title for my motor - Help Please!!

    So I picked up an old Johnson motor a while back that was locked up pretty cheap to see if I could get it going. Told the guy I would get a bill of sale from him if I got it running (mind you, I've known this gentleman for about 15 years). Reason being: the title was burnt up in a house fire...

    I'm sure I will get plenty of answers for my ignorance and possibly a little shame.....but I have noticed that those of the "tin can club", as some have called it, are somewhat more enthusiastic about their vessel than "other boaters".
