USCG Documentation and State Registration Question

[Bob Cofer]

My question is specific to Texas and USCG Documentation.

I'm berthed near Galveston Texas, and I cruise my boat in Texas and Louisiana and that will not change for a while.

If I let my USCG Documentation lapse, what changes except I do not pay the $65 renewal every year?

Texas will make me put Texas numbers on the bow of the boat but the registration fee of $150 for two years stays the same.

So where is the downside to dropping USCG registration?

Thanks

I think I just read somewhere that the USCG is changing the doc requirement to 5 year renewal period? Anyone else heard this?
