Personally I think it's worth it just to avoid putting all those
hideous block
letter decals along the bow of my boat. (which will leave a shadow when
removed
by the next owner)


That's the best reason. I'll have to reconsider for that point alone.
I doubt resale would ever be an issue. Believe me, no one will ever
find a better 35s5. And when we trade up, she'll be even nicer.

Bob's afraid we'll find out that it really isn't in his name.

It won't be. Nor are my cars for that matter. Bad idea for independent
contractors who can't write off their cars or boats. Just the same, you
won't find her documented because we paid for her in full.

Duh. Nobody would have guessed that a boat you claimed you
bought is not registered in your name.

Is *that* what you are, Bubbles? An "independent
contractor?" Does anybody actually pay you to do whatever it
is that you claim to do?

???
How you paid for the boat, and whether or not there are any
liens against her, is totally irrelevant to whther the boat
is documented.

Most lenders request vessels to carry documentation in NY, dopey.

Yup, I'm a media monitor making 36 dollars per hour at present. I
monitor TV and radio for commercial content. Fell into the job when I
became seriously ill. The best part is that I monitor 10 hours per day
in under 4 hours of actual time. This allows both Suzanne and I to
spend each day with our son! Sweet deal and better than you could
swing! My tax breaks are also huge and I can sail every weekday of the
season after 1:00 pm which also nets me three day weekends every week!

Sorry, Doug. You're at the end now and at 43 I have a better sailboat
that you will ever have.

that would be aprox $72 per hour...not bad...esp if it gets you
into a new sailboat !!......

Actually....it usually works out to about 55 per hour, a bit less if
I'm slow to knock out the reports. Zero benefits, but we have Suzanne's
so that's covered. Like I said...Thomas has both parents and that was
the goal. Suzanne only works 3 nights. I can't wait for summer!

If you don't need a mortgage or don't plan to foreign ports, then there's no
advantage.

in favor of registration.


Bart, let's hear why documentation "lapsing" is a problem. It costs 90
dollars to bring it up to date and offers no advantages for a locally
sailed vessel. So, please educate us!
