Good point.

FYI: Connecticut gives a 30 day grace period.

Great story - thanks.

BTW, the states have a right to required local registration even on documented
boats. They don't require the number, but in some states a sticker is required.
The CFR reg says at least 60 days grace is to be given for transients from other
states; I think Florida gives 90 days.

FL marine cops
see us and order us to stop, write John a $50 ticket for not having a FL
registration on his boat, totally bogus as the boat is federally documented.
