Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate for transactions involving vessels that are not in compliance with state regulations or have outstanding liens. If the vessel has legal issues, it is advisable to resolve them before completing the sale.
  • โ€“ In cases where the vessel is being sold for parts or scrap, a Bill of Sale may not be necessary. Instead, a simpler receipt may suffice, as the transaction does not involve a transfer of ownership for operational use.
  • โ€“ If the seller is not the legal owner of the vessel, this form should not be used. The seller must have the legal right to sell the vessel to avoid potential disputes or legal issues.
