China Import
Can A boat from china that has absolutely no USCG compliance certs or labeling be imported and registered here? It has a built in fuel tank and is all aluminum. It comes in a sea container. its setup for a outboard. Its not for me, Im trying to discourage a friend from buying it.....

yes it can, a friend purchased/imported two rigid inflatable boats a few years ago and has them registered in Florida

Let's not give the PRC any of our business. Tell your friend to just say no.

You would trust your life offshore in something built in China?
