I have always traded-in my boats when selling them and now I am now selling my Arizona registered (CA trailer) boat to a private party in Arizona. He's an AZ resident so I know there's no sales tax issue involved. He's never purchased a boat private party either so the buyer isn't sure how to handle this. He thought he had heard that a notary public was needed to consumate the transaction. So, my questions to the group:
1) Is a Notary needed?
2) Can I write up a simple bill of sale and have him sign it and me sign it?
3) I do not have the AZ Game and Fish registration with me but is there a place to sign on it like California provides for transfer to a new owner?
4) Do I have to notify AZ G&F after the owner takes delivery?
5) On the CA trailer do I have to notify the DMV of the transfer as well?
6) Am I missing anything here.
He is bringing a certified check so that issue is covered. It is an all cash (check) deal so there is no financing involved.
Thanks in advance for the info.

Do yourself a favor....meet the guy at the bank that the certified funds are drawn from...just to be safe.lot's of counterfeit shiat going around.
I just sold a boat and it was really easy..
1. YOU need to tell the dmv that it has been sold and to transfer liability
2. On the back of the AZ registration there is a transfer of ownership.
That is pretty much all you have to do...I'd keep the insurance going for a week, until the transfer information has gone through.
No notary is needed.
good luck...my buyer was excellent!
