Re: Where do we flag our boat?

And one more time, all you point out is a reason to see a maritime lawyer or a professional in the documentation/registration field. I heard you say just a state registration caused trouble in...

Re: Where do we flag our boat?

Re: Where do we flag our boat?

Re: Where do we flag our boat?
