About this template
What is this template?
This document is a formal receipt and record of transfer for a boat and its associated trailer. It contains dedicated fields for the Hull Identification Number (HIN) and engine hours, which are not found in standard motor vehicle bills of sale. It is not a title document itself but serves as evidence of the transaction for title applications.
When should you use it?
Use this when selling a boat to ensure the HIN and trailer details are properly recorded alongside the purchase price. Use a Motor Vehicle Bill of Sale instead if the transaction only involves a trailer without a vessel.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| STEP 1 | Watercraft Information | Records the year, make, model, Hull Identification Number (HIN), engine hours, and mileage of the vessel. |
| STEP 2 | Buyer and Sale Information | Specifies the transfer of ownership to the Buyer in exchange for a stated purchase price on the Sale Date. |
| STEP 3 | Conditions of Sale and Purchase | Confirms the watercraft is sold as-is without any express or implied warranties or guarantees. |
Who it's for
- an individual selling a used boat including its trailer to another private party
- a buyer requiring a written record of a watercraft purchase for registration purposes
- a seller documenting an as-is sale to limit future liability for the vessel's condition

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
