Qoute/wix... "Most large boats are Documented by the Coast Guard; usually required for financing purposes The Coast Guard requires a name and a home port as part of the titling, even for lake boats. That's probably why most of them have names"

Exactly. Instead of a State registration, it is a U.S. documentation. Most do this because they may travel to many states, or in some cases different Countries. Size does not matter. It is the preference of the owner. (Or financing, Insurance institution) Boats used in several areas/regions are often Documented with the US Coast Gaurd for insurance purposes. In my case, I choose a State of Alabama registration. Therefore, my Insurance Company restricts me to operation within' a 300 mile radius of Prattville Alabama unless prior written consent is provided by them. But then again, some just like to name their boats because that is what they like. I have seen some pretty clever names through the years. My personal favorite.... "Bling it on". But, that boat is gone now. My .02 worth!
