    Default Buying a boat in Arkansas


    Possibly will be buying a used boat in Arkansas from and individual. What do I need to do so the license bureau will register it? I have heard boats motors in Arkansas do not have titles. Just don't want to have to make 2 trips to Arkansas.
    Feel the thump, hear the drag.

    No expert but I think this explains it. I'd get one for each one individually, Boat, Motor and Trailer. (Bill of Sale and the Watercraft Application)

    We have purchased several from Arkansas, get a BOS for each, any titles, be sure to list serial numbers, and check HP info, bought a 2.5 title came back 25 was a major pain to get corrected. Other than that no issues, read the info from Keeferfish's post not a big deal

    A bill of sale and the registration documents from the previous owner, that matches the info on the bills of sale. Print out the DOR forms that are posted above.

    The registration documents are important, anyone can forge a bill of sale.
