I has to be done by the builder as far as I can tell. The form was included in the front of the C&C manual that came with my boat, and included the original purchaser's name, as well as signatures by C&C staff.
I have been considering purchasing a boat in the U.S. for some time and have been told a lot of different answers about what you are supposed to do if the original documentation is not present. You are supposed to have title papers for entry into Bahamas for that matter. Near as I can tell, they will accept a purchase receipt in at least some circunstances, as will the U.S. government for their state licensing. The numbered licences that Transport Canada issues state very clearly that they do not constitute a title or proof of ownership.

Can you just fill this out and hand it over even though you are the fourth or so owner? I have the builder's file from South Shore, which contains details about the boat, but has no reference to first title, just the first dealer's name.

It's been so long since I've gone through the builder's path of registry that my knowledge is out of date.

I'd appreciate some more of your generous help. What exactly are they looking for when they ask for the builders certificate? I don't see anything like that in the documentation I have. Background, 1985 C&C 33 purchased in USA this winter. To the best of my knowledge it was sold new in the US. I bought from who is likely the second owner, so it is a new registration. The other question I have is concerning the tonnage, is the simplified tonnage method acceptable? Should my boat be 6.85 tons?
