Selling used boat in WA to Canadian citizen?

Question

What do I need to know, do, iorder for all to go smoothly for both parties?

Answer 1

the Canadian (purchaser) will have to register the boat in Canada and pay GST. The seller will have to sign the agreement (so the Canadian can have a proof that the boat was purchased legally (not stolen) and also price (for GST calculation).

Answer 2

Is the canuck coming to WA to pick-up the boat? I'm not totally sure, would go down to licensing and ask around--would grab the form to release liability and a bill-of-sale to complete. I am thinking its the buyer's responsibility to transfer the title, license and insure the rig once back in the great white north, eh?

I bought a boat from a WA resident and I am an ID resident--didnt make any difference on his end of the deal--just filled out the release of liability, signed the title and complete a bill-of-sale. I dunno what kind of taxes the canadians are looking at...
