Features

Everything you need to complete a boat title transfer — without the headache.

📝 Auto-Fill State PDFs

BoatForms takes the information you provide and fills out the official state form automatically. No more squinting at tiny boxes or wondering which field goes where. The app knows every field on the SC BTR-1 form — from Hull Identification Numbers to county codes.

  • 219 form fields mapped and validated
  • Automatic HIN formatting and splitting
  • Phone number and address field optimization
  • Checkbox fields auto-selected based on your answers

💲 Fee Calculator

Know exactly what you owe before you write the check. BoatForms calculates registration fees, title fees, casual excise tax, and late penalties based on your state, sale price, and purchase date.

  • SC: $20 combined registration & title fee
  • 5% casual excise tax, capped at $500
  • Late fee detection: $15 (31-60 days) or $30 (60+ days)
  • Family transfer tax exemptions applied automatically

🧮 Step-by-Step Wizard

Don't know where to start? The BoatForms wizard walks you through the process one step at a time. It adapts to your situation — if your vessel is human-powered, it skips the engine section. If there's no lien, it skips the lien section.

  • Smart skip logic — only see what applies to you
  • Progress bar showing exactly where you are
  • Dynamic button labels ("Continue to Review")
  • Back and forward navigation at every step

🔍 Preview Before Saving

After you complete the wizard, BoatForms generates your PDF and shows you a full preview right in the app. Review every field before saving. Catch mistakes before they cost you a trip back to the DNR office.

  • Full-page PDF preview with zoom
  • Tab navigation when multiple documents are generated
  • Save, email, or print directly from the preview

📱 Works on Every Device

Start a form on your phone at the marina, finish it on your laptop at home. BoatForms runs on iOS, Android, and any modern web browser.

  • Native iOS and Android apps
  • Full web app — no download required
  • Responsive design that works on any screen size
