The bill of sale also had to have my address on it, and had to be notarized. Plus I had to give him my current registeration, to show it matched my address on the bill of sale and that I had the legal right to sell the boat. All this according to the Shelby County License office.


I seem to remember buying a jet ski and I had to get the BOS notarized and all. The ski came from a buddy so instead of all the hassle I just renewed it in his name for the next few years. I told the girl at the courthouse what I was doing and she said it was fine! Said you can renew a boat registration for anyone as long as you have the name and the AL numbers.
