This record is for a 1989 Daysailer. It was registered in Texas, Coryell County. The hull material is fiberglass.
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

ABOUT DAYSAILER
Are Daysailer boats reliable?
Daysailer boats have a solid reputation for durability and are known for their straightforward, well-constructed design that has stood the test of time. Their simple systems and quality hull construction mean they tend to age well when properly maintained. Many owners report decades of reliable service from their Daysailers with routine care.
What are common issues with used Daysailer boats?
Common wear items on older Daysailers include gelcoat crazing, minor core degradation in the hull, and wear on rigging and hardware from saltwater exposure. Engine-related issues are typical for boats of similar age, particularly with older outboards or inboards that may need servicing. Checking the maintenance history and running a detailed ownership and service record check can help identify boats that have been well cared for versus those needing significant work.
What should I look for when buying a used Daysailer?
Inspect the hull carefully for delamination, cracks, or soft spots, and check that all systems—including engine, electrical, and steering—operate smoothly. Review the boat's documentation to verify its history and condition records, and have a qualified surveyor inspect any boat before purchase. Look for signs of proper maintenance like updated safety equipment, well-preserved hardware, and clear records of regular service.
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.
