I have a person who wants to buy our sailboat; he lives out of state and the only way he can pay is by money order. He told me once I receive the money order he will arrange for the sailboat to be picked up and he would pay me 20 bucks extra to hold it and remove my add from craigslists.

I don't know about removing my ad until I see he has purchased a money order. I assume the best way to prove he has purchased the money order is to scan it and email me or make a copy and fax it to me.

Has anyone ever sold something and accepted a money order?

Once the money order is purchased with my name on it, can he back out and cash the money order back in?

Is there anything I need to pay close attention to as far as possible scams?

It doesn't sound shady, but just wanted to check.
Never dealt with money orders, so thanks for the tips
