Buying a used vessel

WHAT TO VERIFY BEFORE YOU COMMIT

This record is for a 1996 CATHERINE M. 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

COLORADO
BOAT OWNERSHIP IN COLORADO
What are the registration requirements for a boat in Colorado?
All motorized boats and sailboats over 12 feet in length must be registered with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Registration requires proof of ownership, a completed application form, and payment of the annual registration fee, which varies based on boat length. Out-of-state boats may operate in Colorado for up to 60 days before registration is required.
Do I need a title for my boat in Colorado?
Colorado requires a certificate of title for all boats over 12 feet in length or those with motors over 25 horsepower. When purchasing a used boat, it's important to verify the title and lien records through Colorado Parks and Wildlife to ensure the seller has clear ownership. The title transfer process must be completed within 30 days of purchase.
What boating safety equipment is legally required in Colorado?
Colorado law requires all boats to carry a Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device (PFD) for each person on board, with Type I, II, or III PFDs being acceptable. Boats over 16 feet must also carry a throwable flotation device, and motorized boats must have a fire extinguisher. Additionally, all boaters under 12 years old must wear a properly fitted PFD while underway.
