I also received the notice. Somehow, the USCG Documentation Center enables these guys by providing mailing the list of documented boats. They are taking advantage of an opportunity created when the $26.00 charge was created. You’ll notice that before the government started trying to ‘cover’ their costs, there was no fee and no annoying “Maritime Documentation Center”. While $26 is a small number considering what it costs to own a boat, it is a lot to process the paperwork. Our government seems no better than these guys.

I am sure they will still snag some people who are either not paying attention, or are too busy to notice. Bill Coleman C&C 39 Erie, PAanimated_favicon1
