I bought a new boat and used a documentation service. I wired the funds for the boat to the manufacture direct and wired approximately 80k to the service provider who would pay the sales tax,wa state registration fees and the required coast guard registration paperwork. I received a letter stating all fees were paid and the boat was legal in the event we were stopped.
We have only taken the boat out once since i have concerns with liability and insurance exposure since i have no evidence of a title or ownership even though i have insurance.
We bought the boat end of June and signed all the paperwork July 2nd.
I bought a dingy and got the registration and state sticker in a week though we still are waiting for the title.
The service says the state is running way behind. Is the idea of coast guard registration slowing up the state registration?
Your thoughts?
The service comes highly recommended and the locals tell me not to worry about that part but still 80k is 80k.
