PWC registration

**Stealth** · 02-27-2006, 06:32 PM

Guys I want to buy a used PWC privately. How can I ensure it isnt stolen-before I give the guy my money? Is there somewhere I can run the VIN or license stickers (side of PWC)? What paperwork should I expect to receive with it?
Thanks!

it's kinda hard to do compared to a car or bike.

customs is actually the place that registers boats and watercraft. you could ask them for background on the supposed owner, make sure his info matches what is on file for the registration numbers. other than that, it's gonna be a crap shoot.

thanks! I took the leap and bought it today...he had what looks like all legit paperwork, and the price was great! So now I'm the new owner of a '99 GP800!

Congrats on the new ski

Now are you ready for the hard part........... weather should warm up in 3 months. You could get a dry/wetsuit and start early

Needs a little work (seat cover, battery, mat kit, left grip thing).

not too bad stealth, not too bad at all.

just looks like a fish out of water with all that snow. should have skis and a track under it

lol...thanks guys.
Ya, looking forward to the water warming up a little and all the ice fishing debris sinking/washing onshore. Could be a fun summer!
