When I sold my last boat post 9-11, I informed the IL state
authorities and returned the original USCG doc to the NVDC.
Per the IL state authorities, I was required to notified the new
owner that there was a 30 day grace period from the date of sale
until he was required to have the boat registered. (I know the owner
failed to do that. His thought was, the boat is on the hard and I
will do that before next season. How do I know this? Because he
called me, asking me to to reissue the bill of sale so that it would
show that he was within 30 days.)
So, the only hassle I see with using the grace period is the
documents that Canada might need to verify ownership.
If it was me, I would query really specifically the Canadians at the
entry point I was planning to use to tell me exactly what they are
looking for. Keep good notes, get the peoples' names, and ask the
questions 3 times in different ways to ensure the answer remains the
same.
I would also do the same at the departure point in the US.
I would do this all in person. I know. PITA. Seems like a small price
to pay for a smooth exit and entry.
Then, go get the boat. Keep a copy of the registration papers and doc
papers with you, have a copy of the state rules about how long the
grace period is, and then make sure the boat is leaving the USA
before the grace period expires
You might also rely on a customs broker to help you with this process
but that could be overkill.

He said the current owner is making him re-register it
when he buys it.
