    <p>You're putting a lot of effort into this. What is the advantage
      (to you) of registering your sub?<br>

        <p style="margin: 0.1rem 0; line-height: 1.0;">the frustrating
          part is that they wouldn't give me a reason, just something
          like "We don't register submarines, only the USCG does". They
          also refused to provide or cite the rules that said that, and
          got angry when I pointed out if they can't provide or cite the
          rules saying otherwise, they should just register it...
          Actually, they did say they would only register it if it was
          coast guard documented and the USCG sent them a letter saying
          they had to (which I have not explored yet)</p>

          going to be a numbers game, keep trying until I get somebody
          reasonable serving me...</p>

                  <p style="margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;">Hi Alec,
                    Daniel,</p>
                  <p style="margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;"> </p>
                  <p style="margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;">I know
                    somebody else who had registered a sub in CA, but
                    they did it by neglected to include the
                    "submersible" part in the vessel description.</p>
                  <p style="margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;"> </p>
                  <p style="margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;">At the DMV I
                    brought up other subs that have been registered in
                    the state, and the response was "they shouldn't be,
                    give me a list of names". Of course I declined to
                    name anybody, since I don't want to screw up
                    somebody else's situation.</p>
                  <p style="margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;"> </p>
                  <p style="margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;">Registering a
                    sub as a 1 person electric Personal Water Craft
                    would get you the registration numbers. But I am
                    hoping to register with the correct description
                    (also it is in the bill-of-sale, so even if want to
                    register it as a PWC I can't really do that).</p>
                  <p style="margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;"> </p>
                  <p style="margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;">Cheers,</p>
                  <p style="margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;"> Ian.</p>
