I just started reading these title problems & want to say something since I
live in New Jersey. Yes, NJ does title Amphicars. I am proof. I had no
problems getting a car title for my Amphi as a car. Since Sept, I've been
trying to title it as a boat & have been given the royal run around by the Dept.
of Motor Vehicles. It really helps when you know someone else in your state
that has a titled Amphi. Having their registration # & name can save much
needed aggravation. There are now 6 Amphicars (that Billy Syx & I know of)
registered in the state of NJ. To register the Amphi as a boat one must bring
the car 'in person' to the Marine Police so they can view it & fill out a HIN
report. Once you have the HIN report you take it to the DMV & supposidly just
get the boat title. That part I'm waiting to see about. I hope to get that
piece finished by spring when my Amphi should be completely restored.

I went through serious hassles getting Das boot titles as a boat in
Texas. That place on Airport Freeway is a nightmare. The lady(?) working
there is the biggest pain in the butt of all time. I had the car title,
just no boat title. Call me at 817-483-5451 if you want to talk about
how I handled it.
