I don't have all the required dimensions with me, so I'm wondering: Has anyone here looked into USCG Documentation for a C-26?

I don't think its big enough to require documentation...

I do not have the info on a C26 however I do have a documented vessel.
I believe there is a minimum requirement of 5 tons for a documented vessel. I would look to finding that answer first. What is her tonnage.
Please note the tonnage is a calculation of the interior volume not the weight of a vessal. There are formulas out there on the internet to caculate it for yourself.

We Documented Destiny and are very happy with the whole thing.
Anyone interested in why can contact me via IM or start a new thread.

Here is the form with formulas imbedded:

What I don't have are the measurements. If no one has done it I will try to get them this weekend.

I have at least two reasons, we're planning a trip from Florida to Bimini (probably in 2011) and I won't have to put those ugly bow numbers on my new paint job this spring.
