Remember also that you may have a difficult time documenting the vessel if
you can't get in touch with the builder(s). This may be important for
foreign voyages. Glass boats have records, hull numbers, etc. Be sure to
check this out as well.

If you send me some photos and info privately, I'll be glad to give you my
opinion.

I'm not sure I'd panic about the US Documentation. A lot of US boats
get by with state registrations on foreign voyages. The US doc is
nice because they'll mail you a renewal any time you ask so you can re-
up when you're in port, but AFIK, you can check in anywhere with the
state rego.

You can get a waiver for a foreign made vessel for US Documentation. Last I
checked it was a one-time $500 fee.

I had no problem getting my foreign built vessel Documented for non-
commercial use. I've forgotten what the fees were but I don't
remember any special ones for being overseas. Perhaps you are
thinking of a fee so that a foreign built boat can be used for "six-
pack" work or something.

Yeah... that was what I was thinking... I use my Sabre for this, and I was
concerned about foreign made boats, which is one reason (though not the
primary reason) for picking what I have.

In Asia state registration papers are accepted in Thailand, Malaysia,
Singapore, East Malaysia, Brunai and the Philippines to my personal
knowledge.

Boat's already documented... and was tested by labs when it was built to ensure
a good hull construction... I guess those are two good signs.
