Two Pennsylvania Questions to Settle Early

Can I submit a boat stored near Lake Erie or Raystown Lake?

You may submit it for individual review. A boat near Lake Erie may involve different questions than one near the Susquehanna River or the Allegheny River. 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 Pennsylvania ownership records should I gather?

Pennsylvania owners should include title and registration records, trailer paperwork, lien releases, and marina or storage details. Do not sign a title, cancel storage or insurance, or release the boat on the strength of an inquiry alone.
