Default Lunatic designs and the law...

You certainly might have problems if you want to carry passengers for hire,
insure it for liability or damage, or sell it.

Hello all. First post here.

What does a plain standard and normal registered boat, if modified to
very unusual characteristics has to comply with in order to legally run
?
Does it have to be presented to some authority for evaluation ?
If planning to home build or modify, would presenting its plans in
advance be a better choice than spending the effort to risk a later
negation ? Or plans is not enough, but engineering calculations be
needed ?
Thanks,
Miguel
