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.

ABOUT CONROY
What is the history of Conroy boats and are they still in production?
Conroy Craft & Marine was a New Zealand-based boat builder known for designing and manufacturing quality vessels, particularly in the recreational and commercial sectors. The company has a respected heritage in the marine industry, though production status has changed over the years. If you're considering a used Conroy, running a history check through local marine records can help verify the boat's background and maintenance records.
Are Conroy boats reliable and what are common issues to watch for?
Conroy boats are generally regarded as well-constructed vessels with solid reputations for durability. Like any older recreational boat, common concerns include gel coat deterioration, engine hours and condition, and potential issues with through-hull fittings and seals. Thorough inspections of the hull, engine, and electrical systems by a qualified marine surveyor are essential before purchase.
What should I look for when buying a used Conroy boat?
Focus on the hull condition (checking for cracks, soft spots, or delamination), the engine's service history and hours, and whether all systems—electrical, plumbing, and navigation—are functional. Verify the boat's title and ownership records to confirm its provenance, and have a professional marine survey completed. Budget for any maintenance or upgrades needed, as these costs can vary significantly depending on the boat's age and usage.
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.
