Selling my boat - need advice

[davidl]

This is not a for sale post so please don't remove.
I am selling my inflatable, I used it with an electric trolling motor and as per the MA law I registered it. I have never bought or sold a registered boat, I have only had to register new or unregistered boats - My new one is a Porta-Bote - What must I do when it gets sold? Am I responsible to transfer the registration to the new owners? Must I file anything with the registery? Or is the new owner responsible for all. What if the new owner is irresponsible and makes trouble without register/transfer? How will I be protected under the law?

I am pretty sure your Bill of Sale is all you need. Look on-line for a blank Bill Of sale. Fill it out completely.
They are required to re-register the boat. I took my trailer plate back to the registry. As for Boat registration (MA ID), they need to re-register with the same hull number. All this info is available on-line.

Thanks Mugz
Maye you can answer for me, Bean seems to be asleep on the job!
Can I post links to online ads for the boat on this forum? Like Craigs list or eBay?
Thanks again

Nope, you can't post links to the boat. Sorry, rules are rules. If someone PM's you, you can PM a link, but it cannot be publically posted.
