What's required to sell a boat in Texas?

I just bought a Tige 20V and need to sell my Tahoe Q4. Plan on doing it myself and am wondering what type of paperwork is involved. Anyone with any recent experience?

I've been a licensed dealer here in NC, and most states are pretty similar. For a private to private sale, you will need the title and sign it over in front of the buyer and a notary. Then have the notary do their thing. Buyer is responsible for tax, tag, and inspection if applicable. It's also a good idea to do a "Sold As Is" form that includes date, VIN, and mileage, that both seller and buyer sign and you keep the original if they want a copy.

It texas to sell a truck you just need to write up a bill of sale, fill out the DOT form and then sign.

also make them sign the bill of sale and get a copy of his/her drivers' liscense. You want to make darn sure you have all the documenation you can get so if something happens and the sale goes south you have your @$$ covered.

Dom - is this all the same for a boat sale? Just wondering, because the OP is asking about selling a Tahoe boat, not a Chevy Tahoe.

yeah it's all the same.

but I thought he was selling a tahoe truck. whoops.

my brother tags stuff quiet often, and there is a form you fill out for the title transfer, then everyone just cover's their @$$ and does a bill of sale and gets copies of the buyers/sellers info. sign the title and then bang.

I actually bought my boat out of state last fall and brought it into Texas.

My bank told me I have to take the trailer empty and get it weighed and certified and bring the certificate to them BEFORE I can get it registered.

Strangest thing I've ever heard. I guess come spring I'll dump my buddy off down at the lake and go get the trailer certified.

Anyone else think that's a little fishy to have to do that?

Doms, thanks for the info. Wake, that does sound fishy to me but i have no experience with that. You should call Texas Parks and Wildlife and just ask them if that's standard practice.
