Check with DMV. In CA you start the paperwork for DMV for no title out of the computer vehicles/vessels. Then to California Highway Patrol to verify vins, plates, etc... Then back to DMV.

There are boat title services - I have never tried them but a quick google search brought this one up.

Here in CA....if the vehicle/vessel is still in the computer you can involve the seller for "signings". I have also sent registered letters to the last known address of the owner and returned them unopened to DMV (their requirement). It is not the end of the world (unless of coarse a stolen boat).
