She wants me or my broker to fly there for a saturday closing. Even this would not work because the funds would not transfer until monday. And a Cashiers check would take a few days.

:( :( :(

Why would you have to go anywhere? You really shouldn't have to be lifting a finger to get this deal done. Funds to be wired in full to Attorney, then Attorney overnight the title and distributes funds to seller and commissions to brokers.

You don't have do ANYTHING in person. All things can be executed via wire and Fed-Ex.

WHAT????
I am a broker and have been doing this for a LOOOOOONG time.
Lets make this easy considering your broker has already lost control of the deal (Sorry, its true!).
1. Have your Broker go to the bank and open up an escrow account in the name of the Buyer-Seller and The Boat (Use Hull ID if need be) with instructions to release funds upon receiving receipt.
2. Have all of the money wired into this account for the buyer or buyers broker.
3. Make copy's of everything you are about to send.
4. Have YOUR broker make his own copy's and send them to the buyers broker with receipt.
5. Upon receiving receipt go to the bank and get your money.
6. Make your broker squirm for his now 5% considering you had to protect yourself.

Protect yourself.
I have NEVER had a client loose money, but I have offended allot of people making sure they didn't!

Or you can contact Marine Title and have them handle the whole transaction. I've used them for 3 sales from across the country and no problems at all.
