| Read Note 430. Basically, you can get the paperwork from the Coast
Guard (Call the First Coast Guard District in Boston) and the
procedure will take about four months - that's right, MONTHS. If
you're financing, the financial institution may REQUIRE you to use
a documentation service.

| 972.2 | Do it yourself it is easy. | MPGS::KTISTAKIS | Mike K. | Thu Sep 08 1988 20:13 | 13 |
| If you only want to change the name I believe you can do it on your
own.Call the C.G.documentation office at (617)565-9030 and ask all the
questions you want.they very helpfull and they will send you the forms
you need with samples.It may takes 3-4 months to have it documented but
who cares?You can change the hailing port as soon as you send the forms
to C.G. assuming that you also carry the previous documantation papers
for proof.By the way I believe you should send the forms to the
C.G.office located at or near the hailing port you want to put on.
Also it costs for change of ownership,name and hailing port &102 for
you with only one change may be less.The $102 spit as follows:
$100 for documentation and one dollar for each bill of sales you are
sending them and they specify to send two.BOY! do I talk to much...

| 972.3 | Mistake on my part | MPGS::KTISTAKIS | Mike K. | Thu Sep 08 1988 20:24 | 6 |
| Sorry,an error on my previous reply.If you just bought the boat,even if
you didn't want to change anything you still have to redocument because
of change of ownership.Therefore the gentelman on reply 1 is right.
If you finence they may request to have a documentation service do the
job.It is a rip-off $350 against $102.

| I used a service five years ago on Second Wind as a new boat and
it took only three weeks in Norfolk, VA.
My first boat I bought used and did have to file papers due to change
of ownership, but I left the name and portthe same. Again only
three weeks. I was going to change the port to Deltaville where
the boat was located, but due to the cost I left the hailing port
as Norfolk, the city of documentation. Either is acceptable. Don't
forget to factor in the cost of the name painting.

| 972.6 | THANKS | ABE::HASKELL | | Fri Sep 09 1988 17:13 | 20 |
| many thanks to all that responded.
I am going with Vessel Documentation Service of Portland Maine.
Cost to just change the hailing port - $300.
You have only two choices for the hailing port, the city (town)
of legal residence, or the port of registration.
For all of New England except Conn, the port of registration is
Boston. For Conn, it would be New York.
The real kicker is, with the recent cutbacks by the current
administration, the Coast Guard is running ONE YEAR behind in
processing documentation and redocumentation papers.
Oh well! next year when I pull the boat out of the water for the
winter, I might have my ships papers.

| We applied for documentation on our new (getting old) boat in
December 1987 and haven't received it yet.!

| 972.8 | I sailed anyway | USMRM1::GFALVELLA | George | Mon Sep 12 1988 12:59 | 2 |

| 972.9 | Take a Number | TUNER::THUET | | Mon Sep 12 1988 19:47 | 6 |
| You should call the USCG Vessel Documentation Office in Boston.
Cost is approx. $50 and the wait is forever. Once you have your
forms filled out, I recommend you submit them in person to make
sure you've crossed your 't's and dotted your 'i's.
