BUYING A USED SUN TRACKER
- +Inspect pontoon tubes for dents, welds, and corrosion — fresh paint on tubes can hide damage.
- +Sun Tracker boats are frequently purchased through Bass Pro financing; verify any outstanding balance before a private sale.
- +Party Barge models are popular for rentals — rental-use boats have higher wear and may have gaps in ownership documentation.
- +The model year in the HIN may differ from the listed year by one for boats built in late summer.

SUN TRACKER · TEXAS
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.
