Boat Owners Urged
To Heed Bill Os Sale
Owners of new unregistered
boats who want to get their craft
on the water immediately should
take heed of the bill of sale.
Clyde Patton, Executive Direc
tor of the N. C. Wildlife Re
sources Commission states that
although it is Commission policy
to allow new boat owners to use
a bill of sale in lieu of a boat
registration certificate and boat
number, boat dealers sometimes
fail to put enough information on
the bill of sale to bring it within
policy requirements.
Patton said that a bill of sale
will be acceptable to wildlife
protectors in lieu of a certificate
of registration for a period of
thirty days if it meets these re
quirements: (1) full name and
address of boat dealer; (2> full
name and address of boat buy
er,’ (3) make of boat; (4) length
in feet; (5) year built; (6) hull
material; (7) kind of propulsion;
(8) date of purchase; (9) date of
application for official certifi
cate number, and (10) a state
ment subscribed to and sworn to
by both dealer and buyer be
fore a notary public that the in
formation given in the bill of
sale is true and accurate.
“The 1959 Boating Safety Act,”
Patton said, requires that all
boats required to be registered
must be registered and appro
priate numbers displayed before
it can be operated on the waters
of the State.
“The provision for using a bill
of sale in lieu of a registration
certificate is a policy establish
ed by the Commission for the
convenience of new boat own
ers, and boat dealers. A bill of
sale, however, will not be honor
ed unless it fulfils the require
ments.”
