Department of Homeland Security, of all things...

So other than Bill of Sale and fill out the section on the back of CG1270
(Certificate of Documentation) and of course, paying all the fees, what
else????


Make sure all the documents are notarized. If the boat is going into Europe
also get them with apostille as European govts. are very keen on this when
you try to register the boat with them and if a boat comes into Europe
without apostille all the documents will have to be returned to the U.S.
State where they were issued for that to be done..
Don't know if you are buying or selling but if you are buying it is
essential to get documented proof of title and that there are no outstanding
financial issues connected with the boat.
