WHAT TO VERIFY BEFORE YOU COMMIT

This record is for a 2023 GOOD DEAL. 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

IOWA
BOAT OWNERSHIP IN IOWA
What documents do I need to register a boat in Iowa?
To register a boat in Iowa, you'll need to submit an application for boat registration (Form 411096), proof of ownership, a completed hull identification number (HIN) verification, and payment of the registration fee. If you're purchasing a used boat, you should also verify the title and any lien records with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to ensure clean ownership before completing your registration.
How long does an Iowa boat registration last, and when do I need to renew it?
Iowa boat registrations are valid for three years from the date of issue. You can renew your registration up to 90 days before it expires by contacting your local county recorder's office or the Iowa Department of Natural Resources with the renewal fee and any updated information.
Are there safety equipment requirements for operating a boat in Iowa?
Yes, Iowa law requires all boats to carry U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) for each person onboard, with at least one Type IV throwable device for boats 16 feet or longer. Additionally, boats operating between sunset and sunrise must display proper navigation lights, and boats over 16 feet require a fire extinguisher.
