WHAT TO VERIFY BEFORE YOU COMMIT
This record is for a 1986 VAREKAI. 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
MAINE
BOAT OWNERSHIP IN MAINE
What documents do I need to register a boat in Maine?
To register a boat in Maine, you'll need to submit an application for boat registration along with proof of ownership, such as a bill of sale or manufacturer's certificate of origin. You must also provide identification and pay the registration fee, which varies based on boat length. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife processes all boat registrations in the state.
Do I need a title for my boat in Maine?
Maine does not require a formal certificate of title for recreational boats, but you should maintain documentation of ownership such as a bill of sale or manufacturer's certificate. If your boat was financed, the lender may require you to verify title and lien records to protect their interest in the vessel. Having clear ownership documentation is important for resale and insurance purposes.
What are the boating safety equipment requirements in Maine?
Maine law requires all boats to carry personal flotation devices (PFDs) for each person on board, with at least one Type I, II, or III PFD readily accessible. Boats 16 feet or longer must also have a fire extinguisher on board, and all motorboats must have proper ventilation systems to prevent fuel vapor buildup. Additional equipment requirements may apply depending on your boat type and horsepower.
