Have you been trying to find more information about a vessel but want sources you can absolutely trust? Do you want to have as much information as possible before making a purchasing decision? If so, then you very well may want to request an Abstract of Title for Boat. There are plenty of ways this form can come in handy.
Abstract of Title Boat Information Resource
The Abstract of the Title is full of vessel information. Many request this form just to learn the identity and location of the managing owner. That information was pulled from many vessel documentation search results years ago. Additionally, the Abstract contains a vessel’s entire chain of ownership, the prices of prior sales (if it has been sold), and even the status of any liens/encumbrances against a vessel. That way, you can know not just if anyone took out a mortgage/lien on the vessel, but you can also know whether or not those were satisfied.
Better Informed = Better Decision Making
That last part is very important. The last thing anyone wants to do is to buy a vessel and end up having to pay more than they anticipated. Consider a hypothetical: you’re researching a potential vessel and it seems great. The pictures and the information shared by the vessel’s current owner look like they’re exactly what you’re looking for. Just to be on the safe side, you request an Abstract of the Title. Through that, you find that the vessel actually has had more owners than the current one let on, moreover, it’s older and has had more work done on it. The Abstract of Title can, in a very real way, help you to save money.
