When we bought our boat, we were unaware it had been USCG documented.
Over the weekend, when I was climbing around in the ER, I noticed a USCG number hidden away on the hull.
Today, I looked up the documentation number in the vessel documentation database and it was there but stated "Data found in historical database no longer in Documentation."
No owner is listed although a vessel name, previous owner and previous vessel name is. So, what does that mean to us? If we went to document it would we get a new documentation number?
You complete the same form, initial or redocumentation and indicate the old documentation number.

I would confirm with them by phone that it was a correct documentation number for your boat.
