This record is for a 1991 Deck Boat. It was registered in Texas, Johnson County. The hull is fiberglass with outboard propulsion.
The free registration data above confirms what is on file with the state or USCG. The full history report unlocks the title chain, lien records, accident history, and open recall status for this specific HIN — the records that a visual inspection cannot surface.
WHAT TO CHECK BEFORE BUYING
- +Physically verify the HIN on the transom matches the title and registration exactly before signing anything.
- +Check that the secondary (hidden) HIN, usually found under a hatch or seat cushion, matches the primary.
- +A clean title does not guarantee a clean history — boats can be salvaged and resold with clean titles in many states.
- +Run the HIN before any deposit to check for outstanding liens, especially on documented vessels.

Common questions
DECK BOAT · TEXAS
ABOUT DECK BOAT
Are Deck Boat boats reliable?
Deck Boats are generally known for solid construction and reasonable reliability when properly maintained. Most owners report good durability with standard engine maintenance and regular upkeep. Like any boat, reliability depends heavily on service history and how well previous owners cared for the vessel.
What are common issues with used Deck Boat boats?
Common wear items on used Deck Boats include upholstery fading and deterioration, engine hours accumulation, and gel coat oxidation from sun exposure. Electrical systems and through-hull fittings may need attention on older models. Always have a pre-purchase marine survey to identify any structural or mechanical concerns before committing to a purchase.
What should I look for when buying a used Deck Boat?
Inspect the hull for any signs of cracks, soft spots, or water intrusion, and verify the engine's operational history and maintenance records. Check that all systems—electrical, plumbing, and navigation equipment—function properly, and confirm the boat's title and registration are clear. Running a detailed hull history check and getting a comprehensive marine survey from a qualified inspector will help you avoid costly surprises.
BOAT OWNERSHIP IN TEXAS
What documents do I need to register a boat in Texas?
To register a boat in Texas, you'll need to submit an Application for Texas Title and/or Registration (Form 130-U), proof of ownership, a bill of sale, and proof of liability insurance. You must also provide valid identification and pay the appropriate registration and title fees based on your vessel's length and type.
How long does a Texas boat title and registration last?
Texas boat registrations are valid for one or two years, depending on the length of your vessel and the registration period you choose. Your title does not expire, but you must renew your registration annually or biennially before it lapses to avoid penalties and ensure legal operation.
What happens when I buy a used boat in Texas—do I need to transfer the title?
Yes, you must transfer the title to your name within 30 days of purchase by submitting the signed title certificate, a bill of sale, and the application form to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Before completing the purchase, it's advisable to verify the current title and any lien records through the TPWD to ensure the seller has clear ownership and no outstanding claims against the vessel.
