OK
so , spoke to someone that i actually understood this morning, she was actually very informative on alot of things ,
quite simple
1 -when a previous licensed vessel has been purchased , a copy of the vessel license , from the previous owner is required , a copy of the bill of sale of the vessel also , MUST be dated !!! MUST BE KEPT ON BOARD at all times
you have 90 days to re license it to the new owner , This should keep the fines away , she said this is strictly enforced..
she insists that you should have it within 3 weeks !!
2- New Vessel , If the boat is not pre-licensed from the dealer , You CANNOT operate the vessel until it is licensed , she said that
Dealers can get it done faster for you , somthing online i believe... didn't really apply to me , as ours was used...
Doesn't sound to bad , hope this helps
this link was very helpfull , http://www.tc.gc.ca/wwwdocs/Forms/84..._1007-04_E.pdf
there is a 1-800 number as well on here
cheers

Sorry guys bit confused here as I have been given different information from different sources. So if I buy a used boat, within BC, I MUST secure a boat licence, I gather that this is the registration number on the boat's side? I gather that this is what you are referring too, sorry if I appear ignorant, but just confused. Thanks. I have all documents from my purchase so should be no problem then, I guess.

Yes, you need the paperwork showing proof of purchase for ownership, and the federal registration papers as well (the numbers on the boat).
Yes the k or bc numbers stay with the boat. I posted my incident as well when I got my notice for the tax mney owing ! year later after the boat purchase. Once registerd they will come after you. Service can. has nothing to do with boats anymore. To pay taxes make sure you keep the bill of sale for the boat and it is signed and dated by the previous owner with the price. And if the owner has the reg papers have him sign off to you. Good luck on the taxes JDR

Called the 1-800 today...it is a general GoC "service" number. My query regarding the status of my application has been forwarded to TC and I should expect a response within "2-3 business days". Great...
5 weeks and waiting...

Last year I was able to transfer the registration on my new to me boat at the Federal Government Office in Victoria. As I recall it took about 10 minutes. It looks like a little political gift for the East Coast and once again the West Coast gets the you know what. It is absurd that these can no longer be processed here immediately.
Thank You Federal Government; -- and they wonder where western alienation comes from.

okay my turn at a question, a friend has just bought a quite old 16ft LUND that hasn't been in the water for some time, it has a 30KA number on it, but the old guy that sold him the boat has no idea, when, when or or any info on previous owner, Do you use that declaration form and state, don't have any previuos information? So what if the number is decades old and boat has been sold several times and registration not changed?

Last summer was stopped by DFO/RCMP had my boat for 10 years (had my bill of sale) . They told me to fill out the registration paper work and send it off, keep a photo copy of your registration paper work and bill of sale onboard untill the registration comes .They say you will receive No fines or trouble as they know there is a delay from back east. Was about 5 weeks for mine.
