It has been my experience that there are no problems. The state of Utah has a bill of sale form(i believe you can get it online ) and the Calif. dmv probably would not question that form. At least they didn't the one I had. Be aware that if you are getting it in the Salt Lake City area that their altitude is about 4000-4500 Ft. and the boat will run different at that altitude. When you get back to Calif. you may have to have the motor serviced to run properly here. So the question is would I drive that distance to get a boat again, Absolutely Not. You figure in your travel expenses (hopefully you have no road mishaps) and you can find some good boats here at a equal cost. Hope that helps

Bought my old Ranger from Utah. No issues in 2005 other than pay the tax man in California.

I've never done this but have thought about it is there any issue if you were to finance it?

Make sure it's clean and dry with the plug out. They check at the border
