I actually had to argue with the DMV in CA to register my F18. They were telling me that I didn't need to register it. I assured them I did, showed them the regulation and made them take my money. I had to have a valid registration to get a spot in the city boatyard. Whattapain.
Yes California is a major pain. Problem is, whenever I show up at a local lake here the State Rangers get pretty wound up if there's no CF numbers on my vessel.
