Re: Boat sales

There is nothing keeping you from selling the boat for less than you owe, but you will not be able to clear the title to transfer ownership without removing the lien.

The Lien is evidence that money was borrowed on or the boat was used to secure a loan in which money is owed. The Lien holder is not likely going to release itself from the property until it is paid in full.
