Why not a wire transfer? I wouldn't take a check from anyone for that
amount.

It will be a bank check from the bank he financed it through. I have no
problem with that, since I still have the "keys" and it's virtually
impossible to move the boat right now. The check will have plenty of time
to clear before the boat goes anywhere.

As I mentioned in another post, wire transfers are not necessarily "safe"
either, unless you set up a "dummy" account.
