69Documented Boats
G
A boat (for personal use) must weigh at least 5 tons (10,000 pounds) to be documented. The original proof of
ownership must be given to the USCG to document a boat. The USCG issues a "Certificate of Documentation",
form CG-1270 (see pages F23 and F24), and assigns a documentation number (six or seven numbers) to the
boat. (See "General Guidelines for Initial Vessel Documentation" on pages F11 and F12).
Documentation is the original Certificate of Documentation (form CG-1270) in the owner's name; OR a
foreign Certificate of Documentation translated in English and certified by the translator. Attach a photocopy
of the Certificate of Documentation to the MV-82B.
Note: A documented boat registered in NYS will not be issued a NY registration number. Instead, the
registration number will be the documentation number on the Certificate of Documentation (form CG-1270).
Even if a documented boat previously had a NY registration number assigned, the documentation number will
be used if the proof of ownership is the Certificate of Documentation.
Documentation is in progress - photocopies of proof of ownership (title, transferable registration or
MCO/MSO) and Application for Documentation (form CG-1258, see pages F13 and F16).
Note: Boats in the process of becoming documented by the USCG require a NYS registration to operate the
boat on the waterways until the boat becomes documented. Display the NY registration number and stickers
on the boat. Once the boat is documented, the USCG documented number will replace the NY registration,
and the Certificate of Documentation (form CG-1270) will be the proof of ownership for the boat.
Owner wants to discontinue the documentation - proof of ownership is the Letter of Deletion from the USCG.
The Letter of Deletion contains the documentation number, but not the HIN or boat description. For this
reason, a Letter of Deletion must be submitted with a dealer bill of sale containing the HIN, year, make and
length of the boat.
Note: Boats previously documented, where the documentation is now discontinued, will be issued a NY
registration number. If the boat previously had a NY registration number, use that same NY registration number.
Documentation is being transferred to a new owner - a copy of the previous owner's USCG Certificate of
Documentation (form CG-1270) and a bill of sale to the new owner.
Used Boats
G
If a boat has passed through the hands of more than one purchaser since it was last registered, valid bills of sale
from one purchaser to the next must be supplied to show continuity of ownership, from the last registrant to the
dealer. Acceptable documents are:
a Certificate of Title (New York State or out-of state), properly transferred, for boats that are 1987 or newer
and 14 feet or more in length (see pages F29 and F30).
a transferable registration (New York State or out-of-state), properly transferred, for boats that are 1986 and
older, or for boats that are 1987 or newer and less than 14 feet in length.
a Statement of Ownership For Non-Titled Vehicles, Boats, Snowmobiles and All-Terrain Vehicles,
form MV-51B (see pages F51 and F52), with paperwork showing transfer to the dealer (non-titled boats only).
