This record is for a 2020 Crescent. It was registered in Texas, Hidalgo County. The hull is plastic with outboard 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.

ABOUT CRESCENT
What is the history of Crescent boats?
Crescent boats have a long heritage as a Swedish boat manufacturer, known for producing quality recreational and fishing vessels. The brand built a reputation for combining traditional craftsmanship with practical design, particularly in the Scandinavian and European markets. Crescent has produced various boat types over the decades, from small recreational boats to larger cabin cruisers.
What are common issues to watch for in used Crescent boats?
Like many older fiberglass boats, gelcoat oxidation and potential moisture intrusion in the hull are concerns worth inspecting on used models. Engine condition and electrical systems should be thoroughly evaluated, as these are often the most costly components to repair or replace. It's also worth checking the structural integrity of wooden components if the model includes teak or other wood elements.
What should I look for when buying a used Crescent boat?
Start by verifying the boat's maintenance history and running a comprehensive hull survey with a marine surveyor to identify any structural issues. Check that all documentation, including ownership records and service logs, is complete and properly registered. Inspect the engine, electrical systems, plumbing, and interior condition carefully, as these factors significantly impact both safety and resale value.
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.
