How To Register A Boat In Thailand ?

[JohanBKK]

Hello,

I'm going to buy a boat from someone in Thailand but the boat isn't registered. It was build in Thailand but never registered. It's a small boat, 15 FT with a 40 HP Yahama 2 strokes outboard engine. The boat looks pretty new, 2 yrs old and the engine maybe 6 to 8 yrs old.

How i can register the boat in my name after i bought it ? Do i need to pay something ? What happen if i don't register the boat ?

I would like to have some advices on the price too, the seller is asking 280 000 B, i think it's not too expensive as he agreed me to pay every month for a year, so i woudn't need to take a credit (i can't anyway). The boat is nice but i'm little worry about the engine, how much it cost a 40 HP Yahama 2 strokes normally in Thailand ? New and used.

There is a picture of the boat : http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs035.snc4/34088_1517349253692_1233308668_1501706_7648777_n.jpg

I'm still thinking about this boat, to buy it or not to buy it.

Thanks.

Always buy a registred boat and setup an insurance for the boat.

There is no registred boat in Thailand, anyway we will register the boat, it should not be a problem.
