Thanking you in advance.

I had the same concern 2 years ago selling a boat. I was advised to type up a simple sheet of paper with a description of the boat including the serial number etc and have the buyer sign and date it at the bottom acknowledging receipt. So I did that and felt very comfortable doing it. If anything happen and the buyer failed to title it, I had proof he took possession on that date.
