What paperwork should I get from a private seller when buying a boat and trailer in Connecticut?

Brian asked:


About to buy my first boat and trailer from a private seller in Connecticut. It will be a small center console, under 3000 pounds for both boat and trailer. What paperwork should we fill out? Do I need a separate bill of sale for both boat and trailer? What do I need to take to the dmv in order to register both? Looking for input from people who have gone through this before.

Also is insurance required on either the boat or trailer in Connecticut?

Already have the safe boating / PWO certificate and all info on saftey equipment, just looking for info on registering.

Thanks in advance,
Brian

   You should get the boat title signed over to you. If the owner cannot produce a title, then don’t buy until they can get a duplicate from the DMV. This is to make sure you are not buying a stolen boat.

   A bill of sale is also needed to state price paid for tax purposes.
