titling aftermarket hulls?

[ATS_Aaron]

Titling boats in Texas pretty much sucks. I bought an 05 Wammer and I am not sure how Texas Parks and Wildlife is going to react. I bought it used, not directly from Wamiltons. The really isn't a HIN number, just a serial number.

I have a bill of sale from Kansas, but Texas wants proof of registration from Kansas too, and I don't think it was ever registered. Any ideas what I should do?

if memory serves - KS is an easy state to get a registration number. Go ahead and pay the registration up there - then take that paperwork into TPWD and do the transfer

register it as home made.

can't do that in TX without a Game Warden inspection and some proof that materials were purchased.

What about a rebuild title?

what about buying some materials then returning them... or ask wamiltons for an invoice.

I inquired once about titling a "homemade" ski here - and was basically told that it would be inspected, and that if it appeared to be a commercially made ski, that it would not be allowed to be title as homemade and that I may face confiscation if the inspector thought there was a chance it was stolen.

In Michigan I just had to fill out a form saying I made it. And if I had purchased it... they'd want to see a Bill of Sale so they could charge me sales tax on it.

If you make it yourself you have to show a receipt for the materials so to prove you paid taxes on it.

what about an "assembled from parts" title....

I don't think we have "assembled from parts" titles for boats here.

Aaron - can you have a HIN plate made up with the serial number and attach it to the hull?
