Our boat was not documented when we bought it. I didn't even know that
there were services that did the paperwork for you--however, I've since
learned that $350 is the going price. At any rate, we did the
paperwork ourselves and it was very easy. The USCG was very helpful
when we ran into a minor snag. If you can fill out an application form
(no brainer) and provide the necessary information, there is no reason
not to do it yourself.

I got their email newspaper ?? They are offering the
following ...
===============================

USCG Boat Documentation Fall Discount
Now is the time to document your recreational boat before
the SPRING rush
begins. Let us assist you with the paperwork so that you
will be ready to
launch your boat in the SPRING since it typically takes
between 4-6 weeks
for documentation once the boating season begins. BoatU.S.
is now offering a
special discount cost of $350 ($100 additional for lien
recordation) to
document your boat. Boats must be at least 27 feet in
length and kept in the
continental United States and owners must be U.S.
Citizens. There are
additional fees that apply for boats purchased through
bankruptcy, estate,
trust and repossessions. Please click on

or call 703-869-8241 if you have any questions.

Or,,, you can pay $95 dollars and do it yourself..


I've always heard that it is very difficult to do yourself.
no?
My boat was already documented when I bought her.
