My boat was already documented when I bought her.

If you buy a boat new its trivial because the builder essentially
gives you the data to fill in the form. Doing it for a used boat is
slightly more tedious, but not terribly hard. And the\ biggest rip
off is paying someone to transfer the ownership or changing the name,
that's just a simple form.
