Many banks flat out refuse to verify any details of a cashier's check, citing security and privacy issues.
A good deal of fake cashier's checks are copies of legitimate ones. They will verify by amount, routing, and account number. I have come across several of these I have been sent for high ticket marine parts.
Cash is extraordinarily easy to verify if you take a couple of minutes to learn about US currency and buy a checker pen.
A bill of sale is the strongest legal protection you can get that payment was fulfilled. A claim of "I wrote a bill of sale for full payment, but never got it" would be a claim that would fall on deaf ears.
The gas in the locker is about the only thing that would have floored me about that boat.
The real clincher is not starting the motor. In any winter belt state, that is a huge no.
