Buying and Selling
How do you research a used boat’s history — damage, mortgages, liens?
Records research and physical inspection complement each other: the registry shows a mortgage but not a past grounding; a survey finds the repair but not the legal charge.
Why it works this way
Run separately, one side always stays open. Hammer testing and moisture readings reveal repairs concealed under paint, which is the half the registry cannot see.
