Default State registered boat in Canada

If anyone has actually been to Canada in an undocumented boat with US

worried with his post reply that he heard somewhere that documentation
is necessary. I spent quite a while on the www.cbsa.gc.ca site today
but couldn't find an answer. You can speak to someone but it's like
waiting for tech support.

I'm sure I would have heard of this if it was the case but things
change constantly with border security now and I'd hate to find out
too late to get the documentation.


to clear the waters...

registration(federal) in Canada = documentation(federal) in the US
licensing in a province of Canada = registration in a state of the US
Confusing?... perhaps yes

The paranoia you experience in the States with respect to "border
security" will not be a concern when you come north. Our idea of border
security involves some way of getting some of you wacky yankees to
understand that you'll still be safe here if you leave your ****ING
HANDGUNS at home. If your boat is registered, you'll be fine.

In your case, the issue of importance will be returning to the former
land of the free and the home of the brave. Having visited a country
which shamefully employs children in the production of snowballs, the
latest and perhaps most sinister form of WMD, for 10 months of the year,
not having correct documentation upon your return, could be... problematic

soooo...Cap'n Long...been to Canada eh?....let's just have a little
lookie in the freezer shall we?


And I believe that includes flaregun?
