Jet Ski Bill of Sale

A jet ski bill of sale is a legal document that records the private sale of a jet ski between a buyer and a seller. It captures the sale price, vehicle details, and signatures from both parties — providing proof of ownership transfer and protecting both sides of the transaction. Requirements vary by state; select your state below to get the correct form.

Jet Ski-specific legal information

Transfer notes

Jet ski (personal watercraft / PWC) transfers use a Hull Identification Number (HIN), not a VIN. Most states require a watercraft title for PWC. Transfer procedures mirror boat transfers within each state.

Odometer disclosure

Jet skis are exempt from federal odometer disclosure. Engine hours are commonly documented on the bill of sale but not legally required.

Title and registration

Most states title jet skis as watercraft using the HIN. Some states combine the watercraft and trailer on a single registration; others require separate titles. Verify the HIN on the hull matches the title.

Special disclosures

  • Hull condition and any history of submersion or impact damage should be disclosed.
  • Supercharger or intercooler condition (on turbocharged models) is a major maintenance item and should be noted.
  • Trailer inclusion — if the PWC is sold with a trailer, the trailer requires a separate title transfer in most states.
