They do that because the item on sale cost money and because they don't to be on the wrong side of the law and the tax man.
But, this is hardly the case for individuals selling household items like a bed, bicycle or a piece of jewelry; even though you get a receipt for everything you buy at the convenience store - confusing isn't it? Well, here is what we know: even if that used furniture doesn't cost too much or just because you are gifting your neighbor, it is not an excuse for skimping on documentation.

It should also carry the boat's purchase consideration and the terms of the sale. The purchase price should be put down in words then in numbers. If the transaction is a trade, the details of the traded item should be indicated.
The date that the buying price is put down should be indicated as should the date of the BOS' creation.
Under the boat's description, you have to indicate the boat's Hull ID, the number of hours on the boat's engine (if the engine is included) and the style of the boat. Information under style includes the boat's length, color, type of hull, the manufacturer, and the year the boat is built, among others.

The General BOS

Often, the description will cover the make of the item, its serial number, model, year, material, size, or the color, among others. It doesn't have to be notarized.
