news 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????

Depending on where you live, state/county sales tax.

What about the title search?
Without a title, of course...
Federal Documentation replaces title for all purposes.

Does it? I didn't know that. My insurance company didn't have a problem with
just the Fed ID, so I didn't really think about it after that.

Federal Documentation supercedes any other titles previously issued.
It is recognized pretty much worldwide as proof of ownership, and a
means of discovering liens.

I am a little rusty on this, but I think that if you document a
previously titled vessel, you surrender the title as part of the
documentation process.

Looks like we are going ahead with this tomorrow.

Welcome back to boaters poverty!
