Hey from upper SC.

I suggest you drive to Columbia to register your boat. I bought my little boat from Dicks sporting goods in Pineville NC and they did not fill out the paperwork correctly. I drove to Columbia, could not register it. Drove back to Dicks, got my papers straightened out, drove back to Columbia and got it registered, all in the same day. I'm sure it would have been weeks or more if I was trying to register by mail. A pain to drive about 325 miles total to register a boat? YES Worth it to get on the water now? YES! SCDNR is just as picky as the DMV, probably a bit more even.
