Buying A Boat - Why You Need A Boat Bill Of Sale Form When Buying A Boat
By Darren D King
Most boats are purchased through private sales. Prospective buyers of any watercraft are recommended to protect themselves with a professional boat bill of sale form. This is a fast and accepted way to provide peace of mind about your purchase.
The first thing a prospective boat buyer should do is to investigate the current market price for boats of a comparable size and power. The NADA online guide is a simple way to do this. Some other things to ask include whether the boat has ever been fined or has any outstanding fines? Has the boat ever been involved in an accident? How many hours does the motor have and is there any proof of a maintenance history? And finally does the boat have a current registration?
Buying a boat from a private seller can have some advantages too. Many times you will pick up some extras that you would have had to pay extra for with a brand new boat. Things like a marine radio, anchor, boat cover and even a trailer may all be bundled together and make a great buy.
Once you have agreed to buy the boat you should record the following details on your boat bill of sale form. Be sure to include both your own and the sellers name, the make and model of the boat, the price at which the boat was sold, the hull identification number, the date you bought the boat and lastly the signatures of both parties.
Completing a boat bill of sale form will make certain that you have documented your purchase as well as providing proof of ownership. It's an easy way to protect yourself and is essential for all aspiring boat owners.

Tips About fishing boat
Since Sea Doos come from the factory with about as much power as they could offer and keep reliability, modifications almost always shorten the engines time before a rebuild is needed. Therefore, my philosophy is "if you want to go faster, buy a faster STOCK Sea Doo!". A modified 2 stroke won�t last long and is usually the cause of peoples complaints about them. Adding a high compression head and other engine mods will ultimately lead to a rebuild sooner than later. If you want your 2 stroke Sea Doo to go faster, buy a stock Sea Doo with a larger engine!

Manual vs Electric Windlass For Sailing Yacht?
Mon, 17 Sep 2007 10:37:13 +0200
From all of your experience is it feasible to use a manual windlass or are the 12 volt models the only way to go on a sailing yacht? The cost of the manual models is so much less that i would like to go that way. I have just found out the hard way that pulling up and anchor and chain by hand in a windward anchorage can be difficult and dangerous. Thanks for your thoughts.

Solar Panel Life-span On Sailing Yachts?
Sun, 25 Nov 2007 11:41:35 +0200
Just wondering how long some of you have had your solar panels? If you have noticed any degeneration in efficiency, and what brand you have? Also, if anyone can recommend a good book on solar power - drycell battery systems and energy consumption calculations (i.e. how many and what size panels are needed to power specific systems) it would be greatly appreciated.
