Buddies old TG was documented and I watched a young DNR officer hassle him at the boat launch. Seem like it may cause more grief if you had a few Drinks in you. Just my opinion.

Still in the process of getting my Tiger documented and it is fairly easy but it as anything to do with the Government, it takes a while. In Iowa they are making me document it before I can even register it here, so don't worry Ed I am in the process of getting it put in my name instead of Big Thunder, LOL.

“The National Vessel Documentation Center facilitates maritime commerce and the availability of financing while protecting economic privileges of United States citizens through the enforcement of regulations, and provides a register of vessels available in time of war or emergency to defend and protect the United States of America.”

BEWARE: The Navy prefer Top Guns and Apaches at time of war.....

^^^^^ I paid for my KS registration about 4 months a go, but they wont send me my sticker till I send them a copy of my C.G. Document. Still waiting but I dont mind its winter

I went on the USCG's web site to get this done, I know you've probably done a bunch, did I get taken ?? or is this correct

No hurry on my end, but wish it would warm up!

Not sure I understand the question, taken by who? If your doing it yourself you pay the USCG directly. I haven't done a bunch, I've did mine because I was too cheap to pay to have it done! Took forever and came back once. I did do it for Harley on your new boat, but it was just a transfer to him from Chad and pretty easy. The rest I send to Barb in our office and she does them in house.

Did I pay the correct amount ? I'll see you @ the OP boat show

That site is not through the USCG. It is a third party site. Really misleading. I would say you paid a third party company an extra $325 vs going to the USCG directly to do it. Total cost to me was $104 with mortgage paper work filed too. So yeah, if you didn't do it with the dealer then you got screwed on cost but outcome should be the same.

Thought you all might like to see how slow our government is on processing these. So maybe in 4 months, I may receive my documentation documents. I guess I will be illegal on the water til then. Just waiting for the little paper to arrive in the mail that says Documents received for processing so I can take her out on the first nice day.
