The non–profit National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, with assistance of the BoatUS Foundation, needs donated trailer boats to better understand collision dynamics.

Using a grant from the United States Coast Guard, the two–year study will be used by waterway accident investigators to learn more about collisions involving bass boats, pontoon boats, personal watercrafts and small cabin cruisers.

Watercraft owners who wish to donate their boat for further study will receive verification of the IRS 501(c)3 donation for fair market value. Boats need to be in operating condition – including propulsion – and include a trailer. Boat, motor and trailer certification of legal ownership and assignment to NASBLA is also required.

To donate your boat or if you have questions, contact NASBLA at (859) 225–9487 or email info@nasbla.org.
