Can anybody here give advice on doing cash deal for boat? $50,000........my concern is counterfeit or marked/laundered
drug money. How would a bank handle the transaction?

re: Welwood

i would meet them at your bank to verify funds and to deposit said funds, you do the deal in a shady area and walk with the money guaranteed someone cracks your back then runs with the loot

Its hard to get 50,000.00 cash these days with all the Banking laws reporting to
the Feds. I bet when you ask them to meet you inside the bank they will back out
of the deal.

And when you deposit the cash the bank will have you fill out some kind of form that goes to the feds when you deposit (or withdraw) cash of $10,000 and up. They like to track large cash transactions...
Sounds like a poor idea to go with that kind of cash.

Cash, check, doesn't matter.........it is still large amount that will attract the attention.

either meet at the bank or at a lawyer or accountant's office that will verify the receipt of cash and deposit it on your behalf.

good luck, lots of boats for sale.......hopefully your buyer is real.

Not sure if something has changed but I have pulled amounts of cash larger than 10k out twice in the last two months and nothing was requested of me other than my id and signature on the deposit slip. I have used the same bank for 10+ years so maybe that helped. In the past I have been asked to sign forms when I pulled out that much cash. We are redoing a house and cash is king these days.

Nothing required to be filled out on your end, but the banks are required to report transactions $10k and over as part of the Bank Secrecy Act. Doesn't matter how long you have been a good customer at the bank. The banks are still required by law to report the transactions. And if I am wrong here, blame Tim Martin as he is the one that schooled me in this when I was inquiring about depositing some tournament winnings. Toast

re: Welwood

I bought a car like that once. We went to his bank to the teller. I gave them the money. The bank signed the title, loan lein. THen seller and I sgined it and the bank notarized it. Bank kind of acted like a closing agent. Come to think of it I did that twice.
