    what state is the boat titled? or registered if no title.

    pretty much a guess, but B-jurisdiction.

    The dispute over the ownership is between the parties, not the boat. Civil Court jurisdiction is based on the residence of the parties or where the wrong occurred. If they both reside in New York and are having a dispute there over property then it would seem the appropriate venue to handle the dispute.

    I don’t think D would ever be right. Convenience doesn’t play any part in the court process. That at least narrows it down to 3 choices.
