I hate to say it, but sometimes you just have to lie. I have a "friend" who needed to title a boat after "they" moved to a state that required registration on a beachcat. After much anguish similar to what others in this thread have described, "they" gave in and decided to lie in order to pay the appropriate taxes and get the required registration. "They" had a willing friend fill out a new State Bill of Sale, which "they" took to the DMV - in 15 minutes, "they" cut a check and left with registration numbers. While it bothered "them" to lie, "they" came to the conclusion that it was the only route to compliance with the law.

Good luck.
