I just came across this and was wondering if anyone has used it before and were they happy with it? http://www.boathistoryreport.com/ 1979 Bertram 33' FBC ALEXANDRA Port Richey, Florida

Ed, I take it this is a pay service similar to CarFax? Could be good. A lot of our boats are documented, and if a boat is, you can find out similar information from the United States Coast Guard Port State Information eXchange (PSIX) system. By plugging in a HIN, you can see if there has been anything major reported against the boat, and it is free. Might not be a ton of info, but it should show up something major.

David, Thank you, the site you listed is for vessels that the USCG has had some contact with. The paid site I was asking about said that it provides history of insurance claims, recalls etc. Just was curious if anyone had used it before. 1979 Bertram 33' FBC ALEXANDRA Port Richey, Florida
