I've been told that it isn't legal to change ownership of a non-Mexican boat in Mexico. Also been told that the way boat sales in Mexico are handled to get around the law is that you take it out to sea for a day or overnight or something while the deal closes and come back with a new name on it, and that while you were gone somebody paid the proper attention to the various bureaucrats that otherwise might have been involved.

This whole process sounds a little loosey-goosey considering the sums of money involved...... Maybe cruising out into international waters is what does the trick, but if you leave from the same slip that you left from 24 hours earlier there might be some exposure. Anybody have any any knowledge or experience they would be willing to share on this topic?

Thanks. MH.
