Can anyone tell me on here if boats registered in florida have a title ???
Here in Mississippi we don't have titles just registration and bill of sale.
If it does have title and owner has it in hand, can you assume boat is free and clear etc..
If I were to go into florida and buy a boat what is the recommendations /precautions I need
to take to make sure the boat does indeed belong to the person selling it, and is free from leins etc....
also any suggestions on the money changing... I don't particularly want to haul a large sum of cash with me and now days people will not take a check drawn on a bank (cashiers etc)
I do under stand, cashiers checks use to be good as gold, and demanded, but now are counterfeited regularly.Everyone wants cash only, but I'm kind of nervous making the cash only transaction...
I would need to purchase the boat on the weekend and banks are closed....
any suggestions / advice....... go......
