What's a Boat Bill of Sale - EDIT?

You've found someone to buy your old boat, or found a new boat to buy. But before someone new sails (or motors) off into the sunset, let's make everything official. A bill of sale is like a receipt, transferring property from seller to buyer. A warranty is kind of an extra promise that what's being sold is legally the seller's to part with. So, a vessel bill of sale, with a warranty, is exactly what you think it is.
