1. The Marketplace Forums can be useful for members who know one another well from forum discussions and offline communications and wish to post boatbuilding tools, drafting tools, molds and tooling, and other professional equipment for sale or trade. However, caution and good judgement should always be used. Especially when considering any business with anyone not already well known to you and trusted, due diligence must be used to confirm details and identity and be sure the transaction is safe before any money or property changes hands. Always use good judgement and perform due dilligence and follow these guidelines.

Proper permits/license for boat sales?

    Not sure which forum, but here goes.. When selling boats in various states in the US, how does one go about finding out what is needed. For example, viewing some applications for the larger boat shows (as an exhibitor), they ask for proof of state dealer license or an MSO. I dont know about the dealer license and am wondering how to find out about it? Also, while Im at it, the MSO (manufacturers statement of origin) is provided by the yard that is building correct? Anyone care to expand exactly what an MSO is?

    Thanks

    It would help if you say where you are located.
