About this form

This Utah form documents a private-party sale of a vessel with a written warranty of title: the seller warrants ownership, the right to sell, and — unless the parties note otherwise — that the vessel is free of liens and encumbrances.
  • Your download includes the fillable Word document and the Utah Instructions & Rider.
  • The rider walks through the transfer with the Utah DMV / Tax Commission for title and liens, and Outdoor Recreation for registration (Utah splits boat administration; Utah generally titles 1985-and-newer covered boats and outboard motors — canoes and listed exempt classes are not titled).
  • Transfer: the seller’s 48-hour title-delivery duty for a titled vessel or outboard motor (§ 41-1a-702(3)) and the 15-day boat seller notice to Outdoor Recreation — required by law (§ 73-18-7(12), in force since 2026-01-01).
  • Tax: the tax on the documented purchase price remitted through the title application, plus the county-assessor property-tax clearance boat registration requires (§ 73-18-7(2)(c)).
  • Lien: title notation for a titled vessel or outboard motor — exclusive under § 70A-9a-311(1)(b); use TC-656V.
  • Plus links to official Utah resources.
  • Utah’s free official TC-843 bill of sale also covers vessels — the rider links it. One caution the rider explains: TC-843 prints a fixed “as is, where is” sentence, so on a warranty sale this authored instrument controls the condition terms.
For a seller-financed sale, pair this bill of sale with our Promissory Note (Secured) and Security Agreement; the rider explains the lien-recording steps. Fillable fields work best in Microsoft Word.

Frequently Asked Questions About Utah Watercraft Bills of Sale

Most states ask for a bill of sale when registering or titling a boat — but boat paperwork splits three ways: state-titled, registration-only, and USCG-documented (which uses federal form CG-1340). Your Utah Instructions & Rider tells you which lane your boat is in and links the right agency forms.

This form carries: (1) Warranty of title — you own the item and have the right to sell it; (2) Warranty against encumbrances — the item is free of liens, loans, or claims, except any you disclose in writing; (3) Warranty of condition — the item matches the condition you state. These warranties create legal liability if false, so use this form only when you can truthfully make them. If you are unsure about condition or history, use the as-is version instead — it keeps the ownership warranty and drops the condition warranty.

The hull identification number (HIN), year, make, model, length, and boat type; any included outboard motor and trailer with their own identification; registration, documentation, or title numbers; the price with an optional allocation between boat, motor, and trailer; the date of sale; warranties; and both parties’ signatures.

The buyer completes the title or registration with the Utah agency named in your rider and generally pays any tax due at that time. The rider gives the Utah rule, including gift treatment and the deadline that runs from the date of sale.

Yes. The instrument records the seller’s security interest in the boat, motor, trailer, and included equipment and can serve as the security agreement. Pair it with our Promissory Note (regular or balloon); a separate Security Agreement is optional if you want terms beyond this bill of sale. How the lien is recorded depends on your lane — title notation for titled vessels, a UCC-1 in registration-only states, or a preferred ship mortgage for documented vessels — and your Utah rider gives the steps for your lane.

No — it is the parties’ sale contract and proof of the deal. The agency’s title or registration process (or the Coast Guard recording process for documented vessels) completes the transfer. Your Utah rider lists the forms, offices, fees, and deadlines.
