icefisherman Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) Apologize for the capital letters, just wanted to call your attention as I need the advice of all you boat experts out there. As many of you know I've been looking to buy me a newer boat for the past few weeks. I went to see one I liked tonight and am seriously considering buying it tomorrow. It is quite a bit of money so I want to make sure I don't take a wrong step or something. Most importantly how can I make sure the boat is free and clear? The seller looks decent guy but I'd like to be sure. Can you do a lien check for boats/trailer/motor/ similar to the one we all do for cars when buying them? If so can it be done on line as my time is very short.... I am going to have more questions as soon as I put my thoughts together but this is the most important one and I wanted to ask you all ASAP as it is getting late and I need to know TONIGHT or very first thing tomorrow morning... Also how can I check the year when the main motor was manufacturered by the Serial number I have? Can I do it online as well? Thank you very much to all who can help me out.

Dondorfish Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hey Icefisherman - That Lund that your looking at sure sounds like a sweet ride - And matched with the Honda - can't go wrong. As far as leins go - i was once told by a police officer that I should always have on the receipt that the item is " free and clear of all leins". Make sure that the seller signs it. You could probably do a search at the ministry Hope that helps a little - and good luck with the purchase. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vance Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) don't know for sure but if you are buying a trailer with the boat there should be something about that a the DOT.I am sure someone like evinrude-dude who is in the business would know for sure.BUT be careful a friend of mine bought a boat cheap a few years back that was communal property in a divorce settlement and he was the one that suffered.. vance Edited September 28, 2007 by vance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
