Buying a used vessel

WHAT TO VERIFY BEFORE YOU COMMIT

This record is for a 2003 HANG'N BY A STRING. The hull is aluminum 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

TENNESSEE
BOAT OWNERSHIP IN TENNESSEE
What documents do I need to register a boat in Tennessee?
To register a boat in Tennessee, you'll need a completed Application for Certificate of Number (Form HQ-7), proof of ownership (bill of sale or title), and proof of liability insurance. If purchasing from a dealer or private seller, you should verify the title and any lien records to ensure the boat is free and clear before completing the registration process. The registration fee depends on your boat's length and type.
Do I need a boating license to operate a boat in Tennessee?
Tennessee requires anyone born on or after January 1, 1989, to complete a boating safety course and obtain a boating safety certificate before operating a motorboat. Those born before this date are exempt but can still choose to take the course. The certificate is valid for your lifetime and can be obtained through approved online or in-person courses.
How do I transfer boat ownership in Tennessee?
To transfer boat ownership in Tennessee, both the seller and buyer must complete the back of the Certificate of Number with the sale information and submit it to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. The new owner must then apply for a new Certificate of Number with proof of ownership and insurance within 30 days of the purchase. It's important to verify that the current title is clear of any liens before finalizing the transfer.
