Jason, I have been documenting vessels, including ones I have built, for about 50 years. The C Dory 22, 25, Venture 23 26 and Tom Cat 255 can all be documented. I have documented a 22 a 25 and the Tom Cat. I have not run the numbers on the 19.
I am well aware of all of the CG verbiage on documentation, and have advised many on the ins and outs of documentation thru the years. I have never used a document service.
YOU have to understand how the "net tonnage" is measured. It takes a little time to understand, but fairly easy if you do the formula and read the pages you referred to. Because of the design and construction of the C Dory it falls in the documentation perimeters.
There are multiple reasons to document. It can do with ownership, Taxation (both sales and use), ease of entering a foreign country, or as simple as not wanting the state registration numbers on the bow. (Although several states still require the boat be registered and display the sticker some place on the boat). It used to be that documentation was free renewal each year. Now it is $26 a year. If you use the boat in multiple states, there are reasons to document.
There are advantages to purchase and sale of documented vessels, having to do with preferred mortgages, security of mortgages and lens. Some mortgages require documentation. _________________ Bob Austin

I used a documentation service for my new boat and still haven't gotten the "official" document yet. I do have the temporary registration and was told that it could take up to 6 months to get it! I bought my boat in early August of 2017. That's government inefficiency at it's best!
Thanks for the insight Bob. I love the fact that my new boat has no state letters and numbers on it. Maybe more Brats will go the USCG documentation route as well! _________________ <><><> Jason <><><>

I got a couple of "cute boat" comments when on Kyuquot Sound recently. When docked at a fishing lodge, the cook came out and took a picture. But the best comment so far was from an older native gentleman when I was at the government dock in Fair Harbor. He got down on his hands and knees and crawled along looking inside. When he saw me in the V berth he said "It's just like a boat only smaller."

Just read about `little wings` original post about what people say about their boat and it reminded me of what somebody told me at the dock. "Now that boat will cross the bar!" Up until that point we had not crossed the Newport bar because it looked so daunting. After choosing the best day to cross based on the tide and weather conditions, our C-Dory made its initial crossing without any complications. I needed this positive comment from another person to encourage me about the seaworthyness of C-Dory boats. They are incredible boats that will get you from one place to another while on the water in a safe and comfortable manner. |

Garyf, Glad you are now taking advantage of your boat's capabilities. Take a look at what Paul Sauders says about his boat in the following thread:
http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=26727
And it should count as he is no longer a biased C-Dory owner.

From another place, here is what he called his "boat":
Quote: | "This boat. This 22-foot floating fiberglass money pit. For the summer it’s my home, my office and my bedroom. It’s also my jail cell and my ticket to adventure, my shelter through the storms to come and my private little shop of horrors. I’ve often compared her to a VW camper of the sea, but without the Teutonic design excellence, mechanical reliability or Grateful Dead stickers." |
He didn't really spend the effort into researching "C-Dorys" but admits to buying the first boat he looked at. Lucky for him it was a C-Dory. Not sure he appreciated the finer points of "C-Dory", but it brought him home every time.

To him the boat was just a tool to do the job.
Like a screwdriver. I don't care what brand the screwdriver is, who made it, or what it looks like. The only thing I care about is how well it drives screws.
He got a boat that did what he needed to do. But he doesn't seem to have much affection for boats in general or C-Dorys in particular. |
