Perhaps there are some fees involved. Swabbie
broke his piggy bank to buy that rubber duck.
Obviously he has no judgment--remember the
careful research that went into the question of
whether he was stupid or lacked judgment?

Well it is one and the same as far as he is concerned.

Or on the other hand, if he sinks the boat, it
won't matter. Perhaps he plans to over-insure it
and then sink it when he finds he can't get his
money back out of it on a resale.

I would sure like to know why one would let the documention lapse. It's
pretty easy to transfer.

It was previously documented under Windward
First. The
documentation will lapse as it's going to carry NY Reg only.
Banks
require documentation in most cases.

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

He watches TV and counts the number of times
a product is shown in commercials. I'm sure most
of his data is faked up, as he goofs off all the time.

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

The documentation was "lapsed" as soon as the boat changed hands, Robert.
I
don't see state registration as any sort of advantage, and neither will
the next
potential owner when you sell it in a few years. A transfer of
documentation
while it is still warm is a whole lot simpler than trying to start all
over in a
few years. You can do it yourself by mail, and it will cost about $90.
That's a
one time fee.

Much cheaper than starting from scratch which will take months and
cost over $300

Bob never has a problem with that.
