I just got off the phone with the new owner and my bank...cashiers check made out by a 5/3 branch where he's at including loan# and HIN to a 5/3 branch where I'm at! Bank says foolproof and guaranteed!!!!! Hooray! New boat here I come.............................................. .........

You can stop payment on a certified check , be careful. Have the money wired!

if the money is wired you are safe period.

CASH only. In God I trust all others pay cash.

Can a buyer stop payment on wired funds? I thought I remember another thread about scams and revoking a wire transfer after two days???

EXACTLY....DO NOT MESS AROUND WITH CHECKS.....CERTIFIED or NOT.....We warned you here on OSO.

NOPE...once it is in your account as available funds...its yours........thats why it takes time for the wires to clear the fed res who will back them...if they screw up its their problem not yours......wires cost money and thats what you pay for....peace of mind.

Of course but 50k or more could be a bit much to tote around unless your a SOPRANO

Use a bag no problem.

Yep - I learned the hard way!
