escrow when selling a boat
 

has anyone used a escrow agent when selling there boat how does it work and what if the buyer does not like the boat. can he hold up the funds. and what happens with the title. the will be shipped east to west coast buy his shipper. what happens if there is a crash on the way who is responsible just looking for info thanks for all help

Are you saying your going to send your boat to CA with the buyers truck driver and not have all your money before the boat leaves the east coast?

i thought putting 5% in escrow unitl after sea trial was a fairly common practice? i would be VERY specific what the money in escrow is for (example: if the boat has a blown drive or the motor is junk) and i would also make sure that a broker or third party holds the money in escrow and not the seller.

wouldnt it be easier (and cheaper) for the guy to fly out to you and check out the boat and sea trial with a surveyor it at your location ??

The way you have it set up now, is if he doesnt like it he will have to pay to ship the boat back to you. seems stupid to me. could even be a scam.

all good answers i am going to talk to a lawyer and let him hold all money from buyer and when the boat gets there he can release money too me and than he can give him title i think who the hell knows

I hope this doesnt turn out like that 39 outerlimits.
