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 CENTURION
Are Centurion boats reliable?
Centurion boats have built a solid reputation for quality construction and performance in the wake sports market since their founding. They are known for durable hulls and dependable engines, though like any boat, reliability depends heavily on maintenance history and how the boat was used. Owners generally report good longevity when regular servicing is performed.
What should I look for when buying a used Centurion?
Check the engine hours, service records, and overall hull condition for any signs of impact or stress cracks. Verify the boat's ownership history and maintenance records to ensure it was properly cared for. Test the wake quality, steering, and all onboard systems before finalizing your purchase.
What are common issues with older Centurion boats?
Older models may experience wear on ballast systems, upholstery fading, and engine corrosion if stored near saltwater without proper maintenance. Some owners report issues with outdated electronics or control systems that may need upgrading. Running a full mechanical inspection and verifying service records can help identify any developing problems before purchase.
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.
