Well up in my neck of the woods most people have never registered their boats at all. Plenty of big a$$ boats running around sans numbers here. No one cares. You are never asked to provide any paperwork.
It's not like the feds will ever come looking for us miscreants up here.
Fed: Sir I need to see your license
Me: huh? License? I don't need no stinking license!!!
Fed: Oh, you're getting a ticket it's $50
Me: Hmmmm, so you spent $11,000 flying around the arctic so you could give me a %50 ticket? That's just mint bye!!!
OH and something else strange has been going on.
Ever since the gun ban was announced my sonar has been seeing this more and more. It's really weird.
