Craig, you are probably correct on your insurance assumption but it wouldn't surprise me if he was confused on that point. Or something else that comes to mind is he may have put that restriction on himself to save on insurance premiums. If it is that case, I think he could easily have his agent add coverage for the US for one or two days while he is there completeing the transfer.
Where do you intend to cross? As for you crossing with the boat and meeting him at Canada Customs, I can't see a problem with that either. I know its simple to bring a car into Canada and a boat should be even easier. He will have to pay tax on it but that should be it. One thing that does come to mind, I know to bring a car into Canada from the US you need an export permit which takes 3 clear days to obtain. I got stung that way with the last car I brought it. The permit is free and its simply to make sure the car isnt stolen from somewhere in the US. If you call US Customs they should be able to tell you if you need any extra paperwork to export it. And perhaps track down a phone number for Canada Customs and ask one of the agents about what is needed from their point of view to import the boat. As for your problem with buying property in PEI, I would suspect the hassle was that they wanted to make sure you were planning on just using it as a vacation spot and weren't intending on moving up here permanently without securing the proper immigration permits.
