So, we're back to use a documentation agent as a couple of us recommended (They are the house equivalent of Title Agent and arrange that aspect). They can also provide escrow services. They can walk you through the process correctly. You wouldn't buy a house without a Title Agent and you wouldn't allow a check to be given to the seller. In fact, on a house you just pay earnest money until the Title work is complete. Documented boats should be thought of in the same way as houses. Many of us have more money in our boat than in our house.
