Stus-List Boat registration

[Dr. Mark Bodnar]

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.
