Registered Vessel ?
I have heard of people who have their boats as "resitered vessels" and they do not have MC numbers or state registration. I'm told this can only be done on a new boat purchase. Obviously, the incentive is to avoid paying sales tax when registering with the state. Has anybody ever done this or know how it works???

the boat doesnt have to be new.it just has to be big enough.i documented mine and its not a big deal to do.just some paperwork.your state will still require a registration fee but its usually cheaper then sales tax.
here a link that will answer everything.

unless its changed all you have to have is where the boat is from and name of boat on the transim.the registration number has to be on the inside if the boat.most people put it inside the engine compartment.i found a company close by to make vinyl lettering for me.easy to apply.http://www.offshoreonly.com/forum/sh...threadid=30638

You can call a number on their website. they are very good about answering questions. I just changed the documentation on my boat. I bought it in May. It seems like a lot of boats from MO are documented. It is mostly a sales tax issue. IN has a 5% tax and I saved a fair amount of money by simply redocumenting it. There are some tital companies and banks that will charge from $200-400 to document a boat. All the coast guard charges is $85 so the rest they are sticking in their pocket. You can download the fors and do it all yourself!
