Boat Bill of Sale FAQ

What should a boat bill of sale include?

A boat bill of sale should include the Hull Identification Number (HIN), vessel make, model, year, length, engine details and serial number, any included trailer, the sale price, payment method, date, and signatures from both parties. The HIN is the marine equivalent of a vehicle VIN.

Is a boat bill of sale required?

Most states require a bill of sale to transfer a boat title or certificate of number. Even where not required, it's strongly recommended to document the HIN, condition, and AS-IS acceptance to protect both parties from future disputes.

What is a Hull Identification Number (HIN)?

The HIN is a 12-character alphanumeric code permanently affixed to every boat manufactured after 1972. It's used to register the vessel, transfer title, and verify the boat's identity — similar to a vehicle VIN. Always verify the HIN matches the title before purchase.

Does a boat bill of sale need to be notarized?

Requirements vary by state. Some states require notarization for boat title transfers, especially for larger vessels. Check your state's DMV or marine agency requirements. For high-value transactions, notarization adds protection even if not required.

Is this boat bill of sale template free?

Yes, completely free. No account required, no watermark. Edit all fields, download the PDF, print two copies, and have both parties sign.
