registering old hull

[Knotty Seamen]

Hey guys just in the middle of purchasing a old hourston and the owner doesnt have any paperwork on the boat. I am rebuilding this boat from ground up and wondering how much of a pain it is to register the boat etc or if anyone can recommend the steps to take etc... thanks

Go to the web site shown below and print the form
make sure you show the cost of $00.00 so you do not get
charged any tax.
mail it in, and approx 6-8 weeks later you will receive your license.
you may need to request "BC "numbers which should be applied to the hull once you're finished

Good luck !

Perfect, thanks for the link! Looks like I will be getting the boat delivered in next few days and the tear down can begin! Gonna be a ton of work and a ton of cash to pour into the boat but am looking forward to it! Looking forward to having it all restored and make it how i want it all rigged up!

You will need a bill of sale which is still proof of ownership not the previous registration or license.
A simple piece of paper with both names and addresses the size and make of the boat and hull serial number [post 1979] along with sale price and both signatures with date is good.
For sale price do not put free or gift that opens a whole different can of worms that requires a notary public [expensive] stipulate a sale price even if it's only $5.
Once you have the bill of sale you can register the boat either in person or by mail and keep a copy of the license on the boat at all times. If your checked and don't have it the fine is almost $200.
