<p style="margin: 0.1rem 0; line-height: 1.0;"> </p>
<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>
<p style="margin: 0.1rem 0; line-height: 1.0;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0.1rem 0; line-height: 1.0;">This is likely going to be a numbers game, keep trying until I get somebody reasonable serving me...</p>

<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Ian, what is their reasoning for refusing the registration? Assuming it's not paperwork they must have given you a reason for refusal.</div>

<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>
