I suspect, and what I will do unless someone tells me different, is use the
boat registration in US waters because this is what is expected and is most
in line with the licensing regime. *Once in Canadian waters where the
applicabile regulations require the ship station and operators' licences,
thus the call sign, I will switch over to using the callsign.

I have a license and I always use vessel name followed by call sign
both US and foreign. That's the way the pro's do it, too. I can't
imagine anyone having a problem with it or preferring the rego to the
call sign.
