Answer 1

You should contact the PA Fish and Boat Commission. Only they can answer this question. Provided the legal owner is still alive and their where a bouts are known.

Usually, it could be classified as an abandonned boat, however then it may have to be sold at auction.

Being in prison does not make someone's belongings up for grabs. The easiest way would be to get the owner to sign the title over. That can be accomplished through mail correspondence or their lawyer.

Answer 2

On line? probably not. You should search motor vehicle records to see if there is someone else listed as co-owner. you can file a petition in court to secure custody. kinnd of like a mechanics lien
