15 foot Boat registration question

[Dreadlock]

Hello Everyone, first time posting so excuse me if it’s in the wrong topic section.

I just purchased my first boat last week, a 1958 15’ crestliner that I bought from someone in Wisconsin it hasn’t been registered since 2005. I looked on the MN dmv site before buying it and thought I had everything I needed, bill of sale, make, model and hull#. When I went to the dmv today they said I need a registration card? I know that the guy I bought it from didn’t register it. Has anyone ran into this issue? I contacted the guy waiting to see if he can deal with it on the Wisconsin side. Definitely annoyed right now and hoping something can be done if this guy isn’t helpful.

Yes, MN is very difficult to register anything that had a title or a original registration card. I've ran into the same issue with old snowmobiles, and motorcycles it suks. Hope he can get it done over in Wisconsin for you. Good Luck.
