Thanks for the response - I understand the difference between Title and
Registration. When I sold the last boat with both a state title and
documentation, the broker did a USCG Bill of Sale and a MD Title transfer.
Just goes to show that there really is no clear direction on this issue from
those you expect to know.

The state may or may not care whether you have a "TITLE" registered in their
state AND have a US Document, but the US Government does. Since, you could
sell the state title to some unsuspecting buyer who would think they
actually owned the boat. The regs for this are below, notice the words,
"title issued by a state" shall be surrendered.
In case there is anything unclear about this. There is state registration
and there is state titling. They are 2 completely different things.
