Paid my loan off...

[SV Sedna]

Last October we made the final payment on our boat. The boat is USCG documented. The bank sent notice that paperwork had been sent to the USCG. Anybody have recent experience about the wait time expected to get the title? I have read they are slow, but what is slow? 3 months, 6 months longer? Documentation renewal was about 3 weeks this year.

Thanks!

Not sure about the wait time, but I wanted to give a big, stinking heaping pile of grats to you. The sea is your canvas now.

IIRC yours would be a 'satisfaction', so they are currently running about 8 months back.

Wow 8 months, efficiency at its best.

Thanks for the link.

They've been sitting on my documentation paperwork for 6 months.

Clearly you didn't submit as a fishing vessel, looks like those only take a couple of weeks
