Damage Check
Boats can be damaged in a variety of different ways, and not all damage results in a Total Loss of the vessel. These boats are usually repaired and resold with clean titles, without disclosing previous damage or total loss events. Boat History Report® helps uncover events like these in a boat’s history.
Congratulations! Damage Check Clear
No damage claims have been reported to Boat History Report
U.S. Coast Guard Documentation Data
Vessel documentation is a national form of registration, which is different than individual state registration requirements. Boats over 5 net tons (generally boats 25ft in length, or larger) in navigable US waters may be documented with the US Coast Guard. Our reports include historic and current US Coast Guard documentation data as it is reported to us.
No US Coast Guard Documentation Data Available
This boat has not been documented with the US Coast Guard or has been documented without a valid HIN.
State Data
Boat History Report® works with every state’s Department of Motor Vehicles and Department of Natural Resources to collect additional boat details. The information shown below was gathered and represents details in addition to the information that has been displayed throughout other sections of your report.
Information that has changed from the previous entry will be highlighted in green.

Additional Info
We collect data from thousands of sources, both public and private. Most of our data fits into our main categories. However, some data we receive is more unique and will display here when available.

Boat History Report® depends on information from Marine Surveyors and other independent sources for the Additional Info section of the report. The accuracy of information provided to you by Boat History Report® through history reports is directly dependent on the accuracy of the information reported to Boat History Report® by its providers and affiliates. Therefore, it is recommended to have your own professional inspection performed on this boat before you purchase.Warranty Check
