I dont think you need to use a company... I dont see any reson for using them and paying all that money when you can fill out the form and get it into the CG and have them handle it...Am I thinking wrong here.... Is there a hitch that would make me use a Doc company ??

Bob,

You can to it yourself it is cheap and easy. Two reason to use a doc company. Your scared, or the BANK/Finance company makes you... it is an add on to the deal.

Call me

You need to check the address they have on record for you. The renewal form comes you sign and return. The only time they charge is if you renew late otherwise this costs you a postage stamp.

Tank is right. Every year I get a letter from the USCG for the renewal. The letter is basically a re-statement of the Vessel details and they ask to verify it's correct and if there are any changes to my address etc. The form is signed and returned. Shortly after returning the signed form, my documentation certificate comes in the mail.

Yep. One of those rare instances where "Your tax dollars at work" really gets simple and efficient results.

I documented my boat myself, but it was simple since I was the first owner and had both a clear title and the Manufacturers Certificate of Origin. I can imagine boats that have been through a number of owners could be a bit trickier.

Right on Brad....I'll look into it. Thanks for the help.

By the way, the whole "coast guard cirt" does still mean the coast gaurd can commission your boat during times of war right?

Strip down the cig, throw some 50 cals on there and defend the coast!?:ack2:
