If only that were true . . .

Never hurts to bring this to the top of the page as a reminder…for simple CG documentation renewal, only deal with the real CG Doc office. They charge $26/ year for 1-5 years. The scammers all want $75 and a couple say you must renew for 5 years which is not true.

HEY!
I am not sure how this $10 thing above was written, but NOT BY ME. I am not charging $10 for information.


Thank you.

Yep, lots of these going around. Now we'll get into whether or not it's a scam, with people weighing in on both sides! Personally, I lump them in with people who prey on the elderly and steal their social security checks and what not, but what do I know?

Good question. I thought the same. They offer a offer a service albeit disguised as the USCG. Some fall for it and whine later. Others see through it and use their service anyhow as they have the disposable income. This has been a topic for years.

You do not need to worry, looks like a mod has changed my post from the correct one of your boat.
Fact is for $19.99 they will tell me your address, the colour of your eyes and married status.

Oh yes.
I believe that I originated one of these discussions a few years ago.
Tricky buggers.
