The mishap occurred on October 23, 2005.

The Nantucket airport monitor is available he

The aircraft had been registered to John Schisler of Buford, Ga., but
Schisler's wife, Patty, said her husband sold it a couple of years ago
to a man from Nantucket, Mass.

The FAA database shows:

N-number : N7345U
Aircraft Serial Number : 411-0045
Aircraft Manufacturer : CESSNA
Model : 411
Engine Manufacturer : CONT MOTOR
Model : GTSIO-520-C
Aircraft Year : 1965
Owner Name : SCHISLER JOHN
Owner Address : [XXXXX]
BUFORD, GA, 30518-5524
Type of Owner : Individual
Registration Date : 15-Apr-2002
Airworthiness Certificate Type : Standard
Approved Operations : Normal

But an owner search for N7354U yields "no records found.

Why would a pilot fail to register his newly purchased Cessna 411?
Would such a pilot be attempting to circumvent the property tax?

How would having the aircraft registered in the name of the old owner
affect the new owner's ability to insure his Cessna 411?

What would dodging the personal property tax, operating without
insurance, and failing to recover from an engine-out in a twin-engine
aircraft imply about the pilot's character and abilities?
