Boat Transfer Process:    

Have the boat inspected by the fleet captain and get a signed Q Form to insure it is seaworthy before selling / buying the boat. No transfer can be processed until the inspection is passed by the fleet captain.

The boat registration must be valid for more than five months to transfer the boat, otherwise registration renewal must take place before the transfer (sale). Transfers of boats that still have old boat documents (Booklets or cards) require the boats to be registered in the new automated system (see Boat Registration Services and Boat Renewal Process sections), in addition to the requirements below.
