misfish Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Just write one up, sign that it is yours. Get a signature on it from a wittness. I had to do that once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 The ownership is the bill of sale you got at the auction, if you chucked it..go see a public notary and they'll swear out an avidavit for a small sum. The vessel registration/licence is not an ownership. Once you have the ownership, then you can get the vessel licenced(boat number). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 If you run a 9.9 or less you don't need a vessel lic ( numbers on hull). Not sure if you need an ownership though. Do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely yes, go check the Transport Canada Marine site for the minimum required paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glen Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I can't find any requirement for an ownership. Do you need one for a canoe, boat no motor, boat and motor 9.9 or less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Does the licence prove the ownership of my pleasure craft? A licence does not prove that you own your pleasure craft. You must carry separate ownership documents with you. Cut and copied from here:http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/debs-obs-paperwork-paperwork_boat_licence-3211.htm#g7 Proof of ownership has absolutely nothing to do with vessel size or motor size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks Fisherman i got that part but. They dont have any info on what vessels need proof of ownership. Is there a fine for not having proof of ownership in a canoe, boat no motor, boat and motor 9.9 or less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'll have to wait until I get home but I'm pretty sure it's for all vessels regardless of motive power. It's just proof of ownership to alleviate any questions when you get asked. I keep all mine in one of those waterproof little boxes along with copies of Op card and fishing licence, radio op card, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokestackLightnin Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 There is no such thing as an ownership or pink slip for a pleasurecraft (boat). Boat have to registered or licensed and only if they are 10 hp or above a (from Transport Canada's Website) : A licence or registration is mandatory for all pleasure craft equipped with motors of 10 horsepower (7.5 kilowatts) or more, including personal watercraft, which are principally maintained or operated in Canada. You submit photo ID with the registration form from the link I provided above. You will receive in the mail a copy of the registration with your name and the pleasurecraft information filled out, including the numbers. I know there is a fine for not having the numbers properly displayed but I have yet to see or hear of anyone being fined for not having their papers in the boat. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened, I would suggest keeping a copy of the registration in your boat and a copy in safe keeping. They are now only good for 10 years (anyone else sniff another licensing fee or tax on the way), and it's up to you to contact TC if you move. If you sell the registered pleasurecraft then it's up to the new owner to fill out a form and submit it. There is no fine for not having proof of ownership in any craft that is powered by a 9.9 or below including kayaks, paddle boats or canoes.

Okay, Smokestack, is there something you don't get from the link posted above that came directly from the Transport Canada Marine website? Glen is not looking for babbling or hypothysis, nobody said there was a "pink" slip. The ownership is the "bill of sale" you know, receipt, nobody is talking about the licence or registration.

jimmer Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have never heard of anyone being asked for proof of ownership. Registration-yes. Registered in my name, so would that not be proof that I own the boat???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
