American Boat In Canada

The vessel is either a South Coast 21' or 22'. There is no motor on it
right now, nor will there be until after I cross the border. As far as I
can see South Coast SeaCraft went under in 1981 so all craft should be older
than 15 years (no need to register with RIV.ca). I will have a bill of sale
but it will be VERY low. Probably $100 for the vessel and $100 for the
trailer. Will this cause a problem?

I will be most likely crossing the border in Southern Ontario.

Thanks,
Steve.

Seems to me there may be a problem with trailer registration and plates.
Googlegroups this group or rec.boats.cruising on this subject for

was sailing yesterday and I'm going again today.

Winds southwest 10 to 15 knots increasing to southwest 15 to 20 this
afternoon with gusts to 25 in the channels. Southwest winds 15 tonight

Step right up, questions answered, no charge. Keep in touch.

As far as I can tell from many calls to both borders, there isn't. Trailer
is registered, plated, and titled. Both the boat and the trailer were
manufactured in 1973.

Looks like I just pay taxes on bill of sale and that's it.

Steve.

Ken,

I've been in the throes of modifying a tractor-trailer rig I bought this
Spring ever since our last.

I plan to finish it up in time to haul the boat up this Fall.

We're goin' to have to get together on the Lakes Bras d'Or next year !

Cordially,

Courtney
