Yes, I obtained this because my boat was built in Canada. However the
USCG states I still have to obtain coastwise registry, which will cost
another $113. I am excited....

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.
