A plain-English checklist for Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace sellers.
You'll need the Pleasure Craft Licence (the number on the bow), your ID and any service records. Road trailers are uncommon here. If one is part of the sale, confirm the transfer with the motor vehicles office. The boat licence is still federal.
Transport Canada's proof of ownership needs the seller's name, address and signature, the buyer's name and signature, the make, model and colour, the HIN if available, and the licence number.
The licence number stays with the boat. The buyer transfers it into their name within 30 days.
Use an inspection checklist and record an as-is disclosure that you both sign.
