You issue and question is way too specific for an attorney on this cite to give you any meaningful response to. You need to take all your documents and meet with an attorney for a one-on-one consultation.

Now the current owners are threatening civil lawsuit eventhough I didn't know about the lien with the coast guard. I had the boat registered thorough the DMV. The broker was the one who looked up all liens against the title.

there isn't a question in the post but if you're trying to ask what you can do, you can sue for breach of contract. You can do it on your own or hire an attorney. You likely need a business litigation attorney or a litigation attorney familiar with breach of contract cases.

I have a estimate of $5,000 debt, back rent of $8000 and a car loan I'm still wanting to continue to keep. I can't catch up on my rent or debt. I'm a single mom with my only income. Should I file for bankruptcy?
