Jet Ski Bill of Sale Template
A jet ski bill of sale works like a boat bill of sale: it identifies the personal watercraft by hull identification number, records engine hours, the price and the date, and lists the trailer if it is part of the sale. PWCs are registered through the state boat registration office, which accepts a signed bill of sale as proof of purchase. Pick your state and the form adapts to its rules.

Why a jet ski bill of sale matters
- Boat registration offices want the price for tax and the HIN for the record.
- Engine hours are the mileage of a PWC; recording them prevents disputes.
- The trailer is titled separately through the DMV and should be listed.
- An as-is clause covers hull and engine problems found later.
Before you sign
- The HIN is on the rear right of the hull, 12 characters.
- Record engine hours from the gauge cluster.
- If a trailer is included, add its VIN and generate a separate trailer bill of sale if the DMV asks for one.
- Note the condition of the seat, hull and any aftermarket parts.

Common questions
Does a jet ski need a title?+
Many states title PWCs; others only register them. Check the boat registration page linked on your state page. Either way the bill of sale is required or expected.
Is the trailer included in the jet ski bill of sale?+
You can list it, but some DMVs want a separate trailer bill of sale because the trailer is titled on its own. The trailer form here takes a minute.
