You'll have to add some ballast--the vessel must be 5 net tons or over to be documented.

Documented Vessel vs Registration

Even though a vessel is documented it must be registered in the state in which it resides. That state may or may not require registration numbers, but the documented vessel still must be registered.

If I recall, the boat may be required to be registered, but definitely not numbered...

That is what I said when I wrote, "That state may or may not require registration numbers..."

The US Coast Guard is the agency responsible for vessel documentation in the United States. They have a web page that explains what is required for documentation. http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-m/vdoc/nvdc.htm

Also, to clear things up a little bit, when a vessel is built to certain standards and inspected to those standards, such as Lloyds, ABS, DNV, etc. it is referred to as being "classed" or "in class" because these particular groups are known as Classification Societies. It's a completely different animal from documentation.
