Buying a used vessel

WHAT TO VERIFY BEFORE YOU COMMIT

This record is for a 2002 KNOT TODAY. 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.

BOAT OWNERSHIP IN INDIANA
What documents do I need to register a boat in Indiana?
To register a boat in Indiana, you'll need to submit an Application for Boat Registration (Form 20100), proof of ownership or a bill of sale, and a completed Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin or previous registration. If the boat has a lien, you must provide documentation from the lienholder. It's recommended to verify title and lien records through the Indiana Department of Natural Resources before submitting to ensure a smooth registration process.
Do I need a title for my boat in Indiana?
Yes, Indiana requires a certificate of title for boats over 20 horsepower or those purchased after 1985. The title serves as proof of ownership and must be transferred when selling the boat to a new owner. You can obtain a title by submitting the appropriate application and documentation to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
What is the cost to register a boat in Indiana?
Indiana boat registration fees vary based on the boat's length, typically ranging from $20 to $75 annually for recreational vessels. Boats over 32 feet may have higher registration fees. You should contact the Indiana Department of Natural Resources or visit their website for the exact fee that applies to your specific boat size.
