Where the data comes from

We don't guess. We check the actual registers.

Every report cross-references live government and industry sources — the same ones insurers and marine dealers use.

PPSR

Personal Property Securities Register — finance owing and stolen status, same source used for car checks.

State marine registers

NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS & NT registration and written-off records, searched together.

ACCC recalls

Manufacturer safety recalls matched against the hull and engine identifiers on your report.

Flood & storm flags

Damage indicators cross-checked against known flood and cyclone-affected regions and insurer write-offs.

Every kind of watercraft

Choose your report by boat type

Each category has its own Basic, Standard and Premium report, tailored to what actually matters for that kind of boat.

Tinnies & Runabouts

Registration history and written-off status for the most common family boat.

View reports

Ski & Wakeboard Boats

Engine hours and inboard ballast history for tow boats that see hard use.

View reports

Jet Skis / PWC

Theft check weighted heavier — PWCs carry the highest theft rate on the water.

View reports

Fishing Boats

Offshore and bass boat checks including hull integrity and import compliance.

View reports

Yachts & Sailboats

Longer ownership chains and import history, common for sail imports.

View reports

Pontoons & Houseboats

Multi-owner and long-term mooring history, plus flood exposure flags.

Why this matters here

Australian boat buyers get burned more than most.

Flood-affected boats resurface on the second-hand market every year after major weather events, and rego alone never tells you if there's money owing. A history check is cheaper than one bad surprise.
