Motorboat Transfers

Motor Boat: You must have a valid title or certificate of origin to transfer motorboats. Additionally, you need a Motor Boat Transaction Record Application for Title/ Registration (BTR form TC96-184). This form can be downloaded [HERE] or picked up in the county clerk’s office. No proof of insurance is required for watercraft transfers. All signatures must be notarized.

BUYER BEWARE! – TITLE AND SERIAL NUMBER CHECK Before purchasing any motor vehicle, make certain that the current owner can provide a valid title for the vehicle. Be sure to verify that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) matches the number reflected on the title. This number is typically located on the dashboard on the driver’s side and is usually visible through the windshield. If these numbers do not match, insist that the discrepancy be corrected or do not complete the transaction.
