Looks like I have my boat sold. Buyer is out of state and is comming in on a Sunday and should be leaving Monday with the boat. Deal is not final untill boat is viewed and ran, very understandable. I have a loan on the boat and I'm tring to find the best way to make for a safe transaction. My bank said a wire transfer is the only way to clear a title in one day, does this sound right? Also I was told I could set up a account just for the remainder of the transfer to spill into, one wire transfer but will go in two accounts.

Wire makes for a very safe transaction because the transferor does not have the power to reverse/cancel the transaction without your approval. Is that what you were asking?

The lien release will take atleast a day or two.

I used a wire transfer last month to pay off the balance on a 28' Pantera I was buying and the bank sent the title out the same day and the owner had it the next morning. I don't think all banks are this quick.

What if I have the title and it has a box for the Release of First Lien, using a signature of agent. Do they still send out a title to the new owner. My bank said around two hours to clear a wire transfer.

How did you get the title if you have a loan on the boat? Once you sign the title over to the new owner he'll get a new title from his state once he registers the boat.

In Michigan I have always had a title to loaned cars. Bank stamps or sign title when loan is payed off.
