Bowrider

Selling a bowrider privately

Bill of sale notes for a bowrider: gelcoat, floor, engine hours and the bimini.

What usually needs a sentence

Record the make, model, colour, HIN and licence number the same way as any other boat. Then walk the floor and transom for soft spots, the gelcoat for chips, and the engine for a cold start and the hours on the meter.

Canvas and upholstery age faster than the hull. If the bimini is torn or the cockpit vinyl is split, rate it Needs work and put it in the as-is disclosure so the price reflects it.
