Documentation Process...?

Submitted my documentation paperwork to the USCG on April 13th changing ownership to me and renaming the boat. Was told it would take 4-6 weeks, probably closer to 6. Tomorrow will end week 10. This length of time sound normal? Anyone else been through the process lately? I did see activity on it on the website. Previous owners satisfaction of lien around the time I bought it.

All this makes me think that I should submit my renewal next year about 6 months before it is due. Why they have this as an annual requirement is beyond me. Seems like they can't handle the work load very well....

Maybe you've done this already but you can call the USCG NVDC and get a basic status. I don't know how much detail they'll give you but...
