Harry:
I agree with these guys on doing it yourself UNLESS.........the previous owner did not renew the documentation and the previous to previous owner still had an undischarged lien on the boat. I bought Impromptu in Sept. of 1997.....previous owner told me it was documented.....he didn't tell me that he had not re-documented in his name.... So when I went to try to re-document the boat in my name with a new boat name......the Documentation office told me that it had a mortgage still on it and I would have to get that discharged first....I actually had a "copy" of the mortgage discharge papers from a bank that no longer existed or was bought up by one of the larger banks in the Boston area...... So a 14 year stalemate ensued.....with several exchanges of information but they wanted "original documents of the discharge" and "original bills of sale"..... I got the name of a "documentation expert" in our area from a friend and after almost 2 years, she has now completed the documentation of my boat with new owner and new name an hailing port and I have the new Documentation paperwork from the USCG. She was able to reconstruct the original sale by the previous owners and actually found the bank that had absorbed the previous lien and was able to produce a signed notice of satisfaction that the USCG approved.... As it turned out, she was the original documentation service that did the paperwork for the twice previous owner in the first place in 1983. So the moral; of the story is that if it's simple, do it yourself.....if a mortgage from a previous owner is involved.....get help. The bill for doing mine was $475.....plus the USCG charge???? Took over 2 years to get done, most of that time waiting for the USCG to get back to us for information...

I had to fight with my bank just to add coastwise trade endorsement. Not changing name or lien holder or anything else.

You can do the paperwork yourself and mail in a copy of the mortgage paperwork. There is a fee, but it is a lot less than $390. And, BTW, Harry, is the $390 inclusive of the various USCG fees or in addition to them?
