How to Sell a Vessel
The
seller
of a vessel must provide the
purchaser
with a "proof of ownership" document at the time of sale. The
purchaser
cannot get a vessel registered in his/her name without submitting the proper "proof of ownership" documentation.
New Vessel
If the
seller
is the manufacturer of the vessel, the
purchaser
should receive a completed "Manufacturer's Statement of Origin".
If the
seller
is a vessel dealer, the
purchaser
should receive a "Manufacturer's Statement of Origin" and/or a "Dealer's Bill of Sale" with the vessel's Hull Number on it.
Previously Owned Vessel
If the
seller
is a vessel dealer, the
purchaser
should receive a "Dealer's Bill of Sale" with the vessel's hull number on it. If the previous owner had the vessel titled—in NC or another state—the Title Document or information that would allow the
purchaser
to obtain the Title Document should be provided to the
purchaser
.
If the
seller
is an individual, and if the vessel is titled in North Carolina or another state, the
purchaser
should receive the title and/or a "Title Certificate" with the "Assignment Of Title" section completed and notarized by the
seller
. If a lien is listed on the "Title Certificate", the "Release Section" must be signed and notarized by the lender showing the "Lien As Released". The
seller
can then give the
purchaser
the Original Title Document as proof-of-ownership.
If the
seller
is an individual and the vessel is registered in North Carolina or another state, but not titled, a notarized "Bill Of Sale" is proof-of-ownership. A "Bill-Of-Sale" can be typed or handwritten on plain paper. It must include the registration number, the hull ID number, and a vessel description. It must also include the name of the
seller(s)
and
purchaser(s)
, and must include notarization of the
seller's
signature(s).
