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

ABOUT CRAIG CATAMARAN
Are Craig Catamaran boats reliable?
Craig Catamaran boats have a solid reputation for durability and seaworthiness, particularly their designs from the 1980s and 1990s. They are known for stable construction and good performance in various water conditions, though reliability ultimately depends on maintenance history and how well the boat was cared for by previous owners. It's worth running a history check and verifying service records to confirm the vessel was properly maintained.
What are common issues with used Craig Catamaran boats?
Common concerns with older Craig Catamarans include potential hull gelcoat cracking, issues with through-hull fittings and seals, and wear on cabin hardware and upholstery. Engine and electrical system problems can also develop over time if not regularly serviced. Having a professional marine survey conducted is essential to identify any structural or mechanical issues before purchase.
What should I look for when buying a used Craig Catamaran?
Inspect the hulls carefully for cracks, soft spots, or signs of water intrusion, and check that both engines run smoothly and have documented service history. Verify the structural integrity of the cabin and compare the asking price against similar models in your market. Request documentation of major repairs and maintenance to ensure the boat has been properly cared for throughout its life.
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.
