Buying a used Apollo

WHAT TO VERIFY BEFORE YOU COMMIT

This record is for a 2016 Apollo WINGCAT. It was registered in Texas, Parker County. The hull is aluminum 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

APOLLO · TEXAS
ABOUT APOLLO
What is Apollo's history as a boat manufacturer?
Apollo has been a recognized name in the boating industry, known for producing recreational vessels across various sizes and styles. The company has built boats for both freshwater and saltwater applications, earning a reputation among fishing and leisure boating communities. Their longevity in the market reflects steady demand for their designs and construction quality.
What are common issues to watch for with used Apollo boats?
Like most used boats, Apollo vessels may experience gel coat fading, canvas deterioration, or engine hours-related wear depending on age and maintenance history. Osmotic blistering in the hull can occur on older models if they've spent extended time in water without proper bottom paint maintenance. It's worthwhile to have a pre-purchase marine survey conducted and to verify service records to identify any recurring issues with the specific model you're considering.
What should I look for when evaluating a used Apollo boat?
Check the condition of the hull, deck, and any upholstery, as cosmetic repairs can be costly. Inspect the engine(s) thoroughly and confirm maintenance records align with the reported hours. Have the electrical systems, plumbing, and safety equipment tested, and ask the seller about any known quirks or repairs the boat has needed over its lifetime.
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.
