[QUOTE="Kirk, post: 1969653, member: 967"] I have bought a boat and sold a boat in the past two years. In both cases I printed off a bill of sale from the internet. I filled it out, both parties signed it. [url=http://www.rpemery.com/freelegaldocuments/freebosboat.htm]Bill of Sale Template[/url] You have to include the hull number which is printed on the rear of the hull. (On most boats.) You will have to list the registration number on the bow of the boat. The engine number is usually imprinted on the motor and location varies by MFG. Once you have the boat taxed, then the you have to register it with TWRA. As for the money and tax end of it. Boat pricing is not a science by any means. Prices will vary greatly on a boat based on who is selling it, where it is located and how close it is to water. So look it up on Blue Book or NADA and get a fair value for it in mind. If you walk in there with a bill of sale for 1/2 the value they will research it. I bought my 20' Stratos from a guy that needed to sell it due to medical bills. I paid $9,500 for a boat that booked at 14,500. When I went in to register it, I knew they were going to raise thier eyebrows. THEY DIDN"T. They just collected their tax and registerd the boat. Who knows how they will react. [/QUOTE]
