When you buy a boat that as previously been documented,  you have the choice of transferring the documentation or cancelling the documentation and registering it in your state. In any event, there is paperwork to be filled out and sent to the Coast Guard

When you buy a boat that qualifies for documentation, but for which documentation is not required, you may elect to document or to register with your state.

Should you require or desire documenting your boat, we can take care of all the paperwork for you.
