WHAT TO VERIFY BEFORE YOU COMMIT

This record is for a 1994 SYLVESTER. 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

CONNECTICUT
BOAT OWNERSHIP IN CONNECTICUT
What documents do I need to register a boat in Connecticut?
To register a boat in Connecticut, 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'll also need to provide your Social Security number and proof of residency. The registration fee varies based on the boat's length and type, and registration is valid for one year from the date of issuance.
Do I need to title my boat in Connecticut, or just register it?
Connecticut requires both registration and titling for most boats. You must obtain a Certificate of Title from the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to prove ownership, which is separate from the annual registration. Before purchasing a boat, it's wise to verify title and lien records through the DMV to ensure the seller has clear ownership and no outstanding loans against the vessel.
What safety equipment is required on boats in Connecticut?
Connecticut boating regulations require all vessels to carry Coast Guard-approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) for each person on board. Boats 16 feet and longer must also have a fire extinguisher, and boats with enclosed cabins need ventilation systems to prevent explosive gas accumulation. Additionally, vessels operating after sunset must display proper navigation lights, and boats 26 feet or longer must have a backfire flame arrestor on gasoline engines.
