best security is to go and do the deal in person. Go pay, and take away, don't mean to be a smartass but it is the only way.

Trust me I have bought more than one out of state. Give him a deposit,of which may or may not be refundable,most if you talk to them before you buy will refund it. Take your cash or check go look at the boat,if it's what you want or what was conveyed to you buy it. I have seen to many deals go bad when you are not there when the big money changes hands.Just my 2cents JOHN

Interesting this topic came up. I could use some advice as well! I am having trouble getting the title for the powerquest I just bought. Did as everyone said. The guy had the boat finaced with Fifth Third Bank. The majority of the payment was a cashier's check to the seller and the bank. I have done some checking online and it seems many people have had trouble getting their title's back from this bank after payoff. I think the seller is being honest. But what the H can I do to get the title????
