Boat, Motor, & Trailer Bill of Sale

Louisiana Boat Motor and Trailer Bill of Sale Form

The Louisiana boat motor and trailer bill of sale form is the document used to record the legal sale and transfer of a boat, outboard motor, and trailer. This form is required when you need to register or title any of these items with the state. It creates a clear record of the buyer, seller, and the details of the equipment being sold.

The information on this form must be accurate because the state uses this document to verify ownership, confirm purchase details, and prevent disputes. A completed bill of sale also protects both the buyer and the seller if questions arise later.

What this form is used for

You will use this bill of sale form whenever a boat, motor, or trailer is being sold or transferred. Common uses include:

• Selling or buying a used boat in Louisiana
• Documenting the sale of an outboard motor
• Transferring ownership of a trailer used to haul a boat
• Providing proof of purchase for registration or title work
• Supporting tax and value documentation when submitting paperwork to the state
• Recording each item separately when the boat, motor, and trailer have different values

Why this form matters

The Louisiana boat motor and trailer bill of sale includes sworn statements from both parties. By signing, the seller confirms they have the legal right to sell the items and that there are no liens or hidden claims. The buyer confirms receipt and accepts the property as described.

Each item listed on the form requires accurate details such as year, make, model, identification number, and sale price. Missing or incorrect information can delay registration or cause problems later if ownership is questioned.

Information you should have ready

Before completing this form, gather the following details:

• Full names and addresses of both buyer and seller

• Motor year, make, model, and serial number
• Trailer year, make, model, and VIN
