Has anyone bought a Coast Guard documented boat? Is it fairly easy or complicated? It LOOKS like it would be easier and much cheaper than titles, but I have never done it before. Thanks, Bill

I do it all the time...


...but I use a marine title company.

I did do it once myself about 10 years ago, and as I recall it's not that bad. Putting a boat into documentation for the first time is a PITA, but it seems like there's just a one page form for transfer.

Here's what you'll need: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/nvdc/
