So I have two MMSIs. I did some research before deciding on this and there is absolutely nothing against using two MMSIs so long as the ownership and other boat information is accurate.

Not sure how rescue info would be obtained if in the Bahamas and you hit only a radio that was programmed with a BoatUS MMSI.
