Back to the registration office, lady at the desk, rolling her eyes, upset by extra paperwork for the homemade. Had to fill out an affidavit how the boat came into existence with descriptions and pictures.

A few weeks prior to going to the registry there was an on site inspection of the boat by EPO. Lady officer did not want to believe I built from scratch.
I assume you paid tax on your own labor also?
