Hi all- new here

No the jist of when transferring the boat uscg documentation- some basics from previous experience
or if you happen to be new boat owner, I'll just go by that one

So congrats! You've found the boat of your dreams before finalizing anything and good-to-go, paid off the seller lets make sure its a solid by the seller signing over the title or providing other legal proof of ownership. You MUST!

1. Obtain the California Certificate of Ownership (title) from the seller with the owner's signature release on line "1" of the title.
print your name and address and sign on the back of the title.

2. print your name and address and sign on the back of the title.

3. submit the title to the DMV with the transfer fee and use tax, if due.
