Default gain/loss 'documentation' by USCG ?

What is gained or lost by discontinuing USCG documentation of a private
sailboat ?

Thanks,

Right or wrong, I documented my boat this winter because I was told an
undocumented boat can't go to Canada, part of my summer plans. In
Maine, I will still be liable for the annual excise tax, but will save
the annual registration ($15). So, in my instance, documentation was
simply a matter of ease of passage.
