Buying a used Boat

bumping an old thread

I gather that i need a notarized Bill of Sale and title for both trailer and boat?

Has any of that changed? The boats that i've bought in the past were from a dealer out of state, so all paperwork was handled for me. Just want to make sure I do it right. Do you need to itemize the purchase? As in, assign a value for the trailer, hull and motor? Any tips would be great, thanks!

Depending on the circumstance you may need a title for the motor as well.

And if the boat has never been registered in louisiana you'll want to make sure that you have proof of payment of state and local sales tax on all three or be prepared to pay sales tax in order to get it registered.
