Hello everybody, I haven't been on here in a while. Things have been hectic. Part of mine and my spouse's divorce settlement is that I'm letting him keep my 2017 thundercat snowmobile, ( we had a matching pair brought brand new together and he wants to keep them together ) and I'm getting the 2014 wildcat 1000 with its trailer. I have an issue though. I never got the title for it. I'm the one who went and purchased it bill of sale and this was years ago and the guy never got me the title. And yes you could say that's my fault. It has literally no miles on it. I bought it with just under 200. I don't think it's at 300 yet. When I got it home my spouse went took it out into three feet of snow and warped the clutch. Secondary clutch was completely replaced by a day's powersports in Bloomer, Wisconsin. We never took on a trip which was the original intention. Just drove around the farm. Haven't had problems with it since we replaced the secondary clutch. But now I want to sell it and I don't know what my ability is to do that. Any advice would be great. Thank you.

I did a simple search on-line and found the following. I hope this helps.​

Snowmobiles are not titled in Wisconsin. However, they do need to be registered with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Registration is required if the snowmobile is kept in Wisconsin for more than 15 consecutive days, according to the Wisconsin DNR.
In Wisconsin, while a bill of sale isn't mandatory for selling a snowmobile, it's highly recommended for both the buyer and the seller. It serves as a crucial document to prove the transfer of ownership and can help prevent future disputes. The buyer needs the registration certificate from the seller, and must apply for transfer within 10 days, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (.gov).

Here's a breakdown:
  • Not Required, but Strongly Recommended:
    The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (.gov) states that a bill of sale is not a required form for selling a snowmobile, but it is provided for convenience.
    Transfer Application:
    The buyer must apply for transfer of ownership within 10 days of the sale
    Snowmobile registration is different from a title.

It looks like you should be free to sell it as is.
Registration is only needed if you're going to ride it on public trails.​

I think a '14 Wildcat is a UTV. Regardless, I would think it's handled the same way as a sled.
