Buying a used vessel

WHAT TO VERIFY BEFORE YOU COMMIT

This record is for a 2015 VICTORIA MARIE. It was registered in California. The hull is frp (fiberglass) with unspecified 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

CALIFORNIA
BOAT OWNERSHIP IN CALIFORNIA
What documents do I need to register a boat in California?
To register a boat in California, you'll need a completed Application for Title or Registration (Form REG 44), proof of ownership, a bill of sale, and a valid California ID or driver's license. If there's an outstanding loan on the boat, the lender's information must also be provided. Registration can be completed through the Department of Motor Vehicles or an authorized vessel dealer.
How do I transfer ownership of a boat in California?
To transfer boat ownership in California, both the seller and buyer must complete the back of the title certificate with the sale date and odometer reading. The buyer must then submit the signed title, a bill of sale, and the application for registration to the DMV within 30 days of purchase. Before completing the purchase, it's wise to verify the title and lien records with the DMV to ensure the boat is free from any claims or encumbrances.
What are California's boating safety requirements?
California requires all boats to carry a Coast Guard-approved life jacket for each person aboard, and boats 16 feet or longer must have a fire extinguisher. Operators of motorized vessels must complete a boating safety course and carry a Boating Safety Certificate if they were born after January 1, 1988. Additionally, all boats must display current registration numbers and follow speed and navigation laws when operating in California waters.
