Bellow are the steps to follow to transfer the ownership of a used boat in Nevada:

  1. Obtain a bill of sale: The seller and buyer should complete a bill of sale that includes the boat's make, model, year, hull identification number (HIN), and the sale price.

  2. Obtain a certificate of title: If the boat is titled in Nevada, the seller must sign and date the back of the title and give it to the buyer. If the boat is not titled in Nevada, the seller should provide the buyer with a notarized bill of sale and a notarized affidavit of ownership.

  3. Complete the transfer section: The buyer should complete the transfer section on the back of the title, including their name, address, and signature.

  4. Obtain a notarized signature: The seller's signature on the title must be notarized.

  5. Submit the necessary documents and fees: The buyer should submit the completed title, bill of sale, and any applicable fees to the Nevada Department of Wildlife.

  6. Obtain new registration and decals: Once the transfer of ownership is complete, the buyer will receive new registration and decals for the boat.
