Day 13

       While messing round with the boat we where able to come across a spare key with a floater keyring attached. On that floater- was the deceased name a number.  My husband and I look at each other with that look. The man had been dead for a year what are the odds?  We call and this quite voice answers. It was his widow.
      At first she thought it was a scammer calling for information and hung up on us. We called back and started to describe the boat to her, that got her attention and she began to listen. We explained we got the boat through the auction and that the paper work would not work in MD to get it titled and we need paperwork saying she was executer of the estate. We also asked if the auction house had contacted her about the situation. She had NOT heard from them since they came and picked stuff up. She didn't even know how much money her belonging's brought in- Shady auction if you ask me.
  She offered to give us a copy of the the will and a notarized bill of sale. She happyliy exclaimed she was thrilled the boat went to a family who would apricate it and anything she could do to help us get it in the water she would sign- the woman is 85 years old.

Summary:
-Found previous owner's wife who is willing to help get documents needed.
- Auction is shady- good for junk crap- not boats in MD
