Mark:
Your information is correct. If you look closely, many (maybe most)
boats around here that meet Transport Canada's requirement to be are
either not registered/licensed and/or not displaying their numbers on
the bow. Guess it is not being enforced and not sure what the penalty
is if questioned.
One of the first things I did when we bought our boat.....TC office is
out in the Halifax Shopping Centre....minimal cost.
Since I was getting a new boat name on vinyl, might as well get the
licensed numbers at the same time.
If you do hire a trucker to bring back your boat, ask him who he
uses/recommends as a border broker......in 2006 when we went through
this, Philip Stevens at Sealand asked me to use a guy in New Brunswick
because they have a working relationship. I did, and it cost $125
then....he told me via internet email what documents he needed from
me...I faxed them...boat arrived....I sent the broker a cheque. Simple.

Thanks for all the info on the possible C&C30 purchase.
One of the responses brought up an unconsidered issue - maybe the
others in Nova Scotia and Canada can comment.
I got a price on shipping the boat back - initial estimate is ~$5000
plus getting it on and off the trailer (Sealand). Estimate from a
professional captain is ~$3000 to sail it back for me. Or I could
sail it back myself (which sound like an adventure, provided all goes
smoothly!!!) -- So if I go ahead more likely
Bob Hickson raised the issue of getting a boat registered. I had not
really thought about it. I didn't do anything to register or transfer
ownership of my current Mirage 24 (but it only has an 8Hp outboard),
nor did I register a 16 ft bowrider I bought and sold several years back.
I don't recall seeing boats around the club with the typical license
codes on the bow (I do recall that from Ontario)
Looking online - I can't find anything specific with Nova Scotia - but
Transport Canada
(http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/backgrounders-b04-m055e-1329.htm)
says
*Licensing and registration*
All pleasure craft, which are principally maintained and operated in
Canada and powered by one or more motors adding up to 7.5 kW (10 hp)
or more must be either licensed or registered.
and
*Note:
*You must display your pleasure craft licence number:
* above the waterline;
* on both sides of the bow;
* in block characters not less than 7.5 centimetres (3 inches)
high; and
* in a contrasting colour to the vessel colour.
Maybe I've just been ignoring the issue and got away with it?
Advice appreciated.
