Buying a used vessel

WHAT TO VERIFY BEFORE YOU COMMIT

This record is for a 2004 KNOT TODAY. 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

RHODE ISLAND
BOAT OWNERSHIP IN RHODE ISLAND
What are the requirements for registering a boat in Rhode Island?
All motorized boats and sailboats over 16 feet in length must be registered with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM). You'll need to provide proof of ownership, a completed application form, and pay the registration fee, which varies based on boat length. Registration must be renewed annually, and you'll receive registration numbers that must be displayed on your vessel.
Do I need a title for my boat in Rhode Island?
Yes, Rhode Island requires a certificate of title for all boats over 16 feet in length. When purchasing a used boat, you should verify the title and any lien records through the DEM to ensure the seller has clear ownership and there are no outstanding claims against the vessel. The title transfer must be completed within 30 days of purchase to avoid penalties.
What safety equipment is required on Rhode Island boats?
Rhode Island boaters must carry Coast Guard-approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) for each person aboard, with at least one Type IV throwable device on boats 16 feet or longer. All motorized boats must have fire extinguishers, and boats with closed cabins require additional ventilation and backfire flame arrestors. Navigation lights are required if operating between sunset and sunrise.
