BUYING A USED SKEETER
- +Tournament-rigged Skeeters accumulate hours quickly — check for prior accident or grounding events in the history.
- +Fiberglass stress cracks around the jack plate mounting and transom are common on heavily used tournament boats.
- +Lien checks are especially important on high-value Skeeters — tournament rigs in the $60k–$80k range are commonly financed.
- +Check the HIN production date against the stated model year; Skeeter occasionally builds early-season boats in the prior calendar year.

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.
