How To Sell A Kayak In Ohio?

When selling a kayak in Ohio, the owner must sign over the transfer section on the back of their registration, if it is the larger green and white sheet of paper. A bill of sale should be written stating that you sold the boat, and the Hull Identification Number (HIN) must be provided. Registrations are required for every recreational boat in Ohio, including powerboats, sailboats, canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, and inflatable boats.

To register a non-titled boat, follow the instructions for non-titled boats and, if necessary, the cost to transfer ownership. If selling multiple kayaks, know what information to give the new owners so they can transfer the registration to their name.

Every recreational boat operating in Ohio waters must be registered with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), including canoes, kayaks, and paddleboats. Proof of ownership options listed on the OHDNR website include Manufacturers Statement of Origin, Bill of Sale, Signed-over registration, and Price Description Location.

To ensure safety and compliance, be considerate of buyers and give first bids to the first person interested in buying the item. Complete and mail the DNR8460R Certified Watercraft Registration Application and Affidavit of Ownership along with payment and proof of ownership. No person is permitted to sell or purchase a watercraft less than 14 feet in length with a 10 horsepower motor or greater without a certificate of title.
