Thank you for the question.
Obviously, there are limits on what the seller of a boat will be able to determine from a buyer of a boat. There is already a system in place for the registration of boats once they're transferred. As you will know, it's on the buyer of the boat to make that change.
What this would introduce is a requirement for the boat owner to disclose the condition of the boat and then the person who's buying it to have some type of format showing their ability to maintain and operate it going forward. It would complement what is already in there with the vessel registration system.
In a case like the one you're mentioning, it is more than someone coming by and just giving someone some money. You actually have an obligation now to register that boat within 60 days of getting it. This would complement what's already in there.
