I purchased my boat in AZ and brought it to CA. And I remember the seller telling me that AZ is a paperless state on boats. Meaning they don't have "pink slips" for boats. I did not get a title with my boat, but did get one for the trailer. CA made a title for the boat. They did have a state to state book at the CA DMV to look up and verify that AZ was paperless. So they will probably do the same in AZ and make you have a title from CA.
