Nothing underhand or suspicious. The Registry require a UK representative address to register a boat owned by a non resident. Has no impact on the financial affairs of the person acting as representative.

Tell him to buy it in your name and address, atleast that way you can report it stolen if something goes bad ?

Presumably if registering in the UK VAT will be due? If so would the UK rep. be liable?

Vat and registration are unrelated. Vat would be payable on import.
