I Googled my name and this website came up: Boatinfoworld.com

Search for your boat by name, or you can search using your last name. A little scary for me...

Keep your wakes down...

They still have me as the owner of "Reel Big Woody", my old Egg Harbor. They have Knotty Maid too. Very weird....

Wonder what would come up if you put in Randy's name.......

I did. Surprising results. Look at the boat name above above Randy's. Wonder if there any relation?

Looks like the USCG Documented Vessel list. I was listed at my home address.

3796 hits on "Hatteras"...AMF's Rockwell's, Genmar's.

Kind of neat, but not a good sign on the privacy front.

Big Brother is always watching...

In this case, he's not watching, just selling out, so your friends, neighbors, and friendly telemarketers can watch too!

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go buy a mailing list.....LOL

If you own a boat that's DOC. It is public records.

If you own a boat that's DOC. It is public records.

And I think that was the point. So DOC your boat and end up on the 'net where for 19.95, anyone can buy your info. Or DON'T DOC your boat....and what are the ramifications?
