Boat History Reports

Know what the seller won't tell you.
Run a boat history report before you buy.

Boat history data is scattered across federal agencies, law enforcement registries, and commercial databases that most buyers never think to check. We pull it all together into one report and tell you exactly what it means for your purchase.

A totaled boat can be repaired and resold with a clean state title. No disclosure required. We check the databases that catch what the title doesn't show.

What We Check

Multiple databases.
One hull number.

Every report cross-references federal, commercial, and law enforcement records that most buyers never think to check — then tells you what it means.

How It Works

One HIN. Every database that matters.
One clear answer.

01

Enter the Hull Identification Number

Find the 12-character HIN on the boat's transom, registration, or listing details. Enter it above and your report starts instantly.

No account required. Results in seconds.
02

We search federal and commercial databases

The HIN is screened against stolen vessel registries, maritime lien filings, salvage auction records, USCG accident history, manufacturer recalls, marine casualty databases, and USCG vessel documentation records.

The checks most buyers never think to run.
03

Your report is delivered

Every database result is presented clearly: what was checked, what was found (or not found), and what it means for your purchase. A clean report is the green light you need before wiring money.

Real findings from real reports

What a HullScore report
has caught.

Salvage flag on a “clean” title

A 2019 center console listed at $85K in Southwest Florida. Seller claimed one owner, garage kept. Our title screening flagged a total loss record — the boat had been written off after a hurricane and resold with a clean state title.

🔗

Active lien on a private sale

A 2015 bay boat listed for sale by owner at $42K. Our maritime lien search flagged an outstanding lien from a boatyard. The buyer walked away before wiring money to a boat that could have been seized.

🔧

Open recall, never disclosed

A 2020 bay boat with an open fuel system recall the seller never mentioned. The federal recall required a free dealer repair that hadn’t been performed — a safety issue and a leverage point.

More than a database lookup

Other reports check the box.
We read between the lines.

Most boat history reports hand you a stack of registration renewals and call it a day. Or they claim “90+ databases” but never tell you which ones. HullScore is different: we name every check we run, we show you the result of each one, and then our AI tells you what it all means for your specific deal. History plus intelligence — not a data dump.

Sometimes the most important finding is that there's nothing to find. A clean HullScore report means no stolen flags, no salvage records, no liens, no federal accidents, and no outstanding recalls. That's not an empty report — that's the green light you need before wiring money.

A marine survey tells you what's wrong with the boat today. HullScore tells you what happened to it before you showed up. Run a check before you book the surveyor — if a salvage flag comes back, you just saved $500.
