How should one proceed? Is it as simple as paying of the balance of the lien directly to the bank?

You should pay his bank. If he's in the positive they will deposit any excess into his account. If you are financing the boat the bank should include a letter to his institution to forward the title to them to place the lien on it.

This. Going through this now. My bank sent payoff to his bank and a check to seller.

I sold one that way. Lucky enough to have a local branch, did the deal there. Bank took their piece and handed me extra cash. He got notarized bill of sale and zero balance there and the title a few weeks later.
