I have a trawler which I captain for charter on Lake Superior. In

"a vessel documented exclusively for recreation may not be used for
purposes other than pleasure." I subsequently obtained the waiver, as I
really couldn't think of anything I would rather spend the $500 on.

HI Capt.

Is this the program you are talking about?

Yes, and it now allows me to spend another $113 on the actual coastwise
registry. I would not have had to spend the $500 if the boat was US built.
