This is my first private boat sale so I need some help with all of the particulars in regards to the legal stuff.

This is what I think I need to, help me out if I'm missing something please, like maybe a Bill of Sale? Is a BOS necessary?

For the buyer:

1. Fill out and sign the boat and trailer titles.
2. Fill out and sign the "Declaration of Buyer and Seller Regarding Value of Used Vehicle Sold" forms. (1 for the boat and 1 for the trailer)

For the state:

1. Fill out the Vehicle Report of Sale for the trailer and file with the DOL.
2. Fill out the Vessel Report of Sale for the boat and file with the DOL.

For me:

1. Deposit the money in MY bank account, LOL!

I think you're good to go with that list.

Thanks buddy!

You forgot the "hide portion of profits from significant other to spend on new fishing stuff"

Oh, I got that one covered real good. I got her to concede, quote, "We'll get you a big fancy one next time with a galley, new electronics and everything!"

My dream is to do the inside passage up to Port Hardy, and then salmon slaying the live long day after day after day....!

1. Transfer proceeds of sale to down payment for bigger boat.

How 'bout this Slab?

1. Transfer proceeds from sale of HOUSE to down payment on much bigger boat!

The house is next!!!
