Two Connecticut Questions to Settle Early

Can I submit a boat stored near Long Island Sound or the Connecticut River?

You may submit it for individual review. A boat near Long Island Sound may involve different questions than one near Candlewood Lake or Norwalk Harbor. Give the exact marina, yard, mooring, residence, or storage address; describe whether the boat is afloat, blocked, lifted, or trailered; and disclose access limits, balances, liens, and facility deadlines.

Which Connecticut ownership records should I gather?

Connecticut paperwork may include title or registration, trailer title or registration, lien release, Coast Guard documentation, and marina or yard records. Do not sign a title, cancel storage or insurance, or release the boat on the strength of an inquiry alone.
