This record is for a 2023 Fliteboard FLITEBOARD ULTRA. It was registered in Texas, Dallas County. The hull is fiberglass with outboard 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

FLITEBOARD · TEXAS
ABOUT FLITEBOARD
Are Fliteboard boats reliable?
Fliteboard boats are known for their innovative electric hydrofoil design and have built a solid reputation among early adopters and enthusiasts. The brand focuses on quality construction and modern propulsion technology, though as with any newer manufacturer, long-term reliability data is still being established. Most owners report positive experiences, though proper maintenance and care of the battery system is essential for longevity.
What should I check before buying a used Fliteboard?
Before purchasing a used Fliteboard, thoroughly inspect the battery health and charging system, as battery degradation is the primary wear item on electric boards. Check the hull and foil structure for any cracks or damage, and verify the board's service and maintenance history through official Fliteboard records if possible. Test the electronic controls and motor responsiveness to ensure all systems function properly.
What are common issues with Fliteboard boats?
Battery performance and range decline over time with regular use, which is typical for lithium-powered watercraft. Some owners have reported sensitivity in the foil system requiring careful handling and storage to prevent damage. Weather exposure and saltwater use require diligent maintenance to prevent corrosion of electronic components.
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.
