WHAT TO VERIFY BEFORE YOU COMMIT

This record is for a 2005 LADY CRAY. 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

LOUISIANA
BOAT OWNERSHIP IN LOUISIANA
What documents do I need to register a boat in Louisiana?
To register a boat in Louisiana, you'll need to submit an application with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, proof of ownership (bill of sale or title), proof of Louisiana residency, and proof that any outstanding liens have been satisfied. It's advisable to verify title and lien records through the LDWF before completing your registration to ensure a smooth process. Registration fees vary based on boat length and type.
How long does a Louisiana boat registration last?
Louisiana boat registrations are valid for one year from the date of issuance. You must renew your registration annually, and failure to renew can result in penalties or citations if you operate an unregistered vessel. The renewal process can typically be completed online through the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries website.
Do I need to transfer my boat title when buying a used boat in Louisiana?
Yes, boat titles must be transferred to the new owner within a specific timeframe when purchasing a used vessel in Louisiana. The seller should provide you with the current title, and you'll need to submit an application for title transfer to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries along with the bill of sale. The new title will then be issued in your name as the registered owner.
