My experience bringing a US built boat back:
In 2011 I came thru Port Angeles,WA, but should be similar. I notified customs in advance of when I would arrive. A week before and again by phone that morning to verify arrival time. I had reams of paperwork because the Canadians had the vessel documents all screwed up, wrong builder, build date. But I had no problem with customs. They met me at the dock, even filled out the customs papers for me. Total fee in 2011 for an 83' yacht was $12.50. You don't need no freakin' broker. Also you can hand carry papers and file for reissued US documentation at any USCG office and save all the broker money. Unless you just have money to burn or don't have the time.
