Thank you. I hope more replies come

Sure you can (Surigao City)...I had my 4 man outboard motorised fishing boat that was docked nearby my home for >3years wif no registration.
But we could not catch enough fish to justify its maintenance, so I sold it off!

Cheers

Just be aware of parts of Mindanao that are more risky, especially near the beach where there is a quick getaway.

Yes both pleasures & dangers do come hand in hand in many parts of Mindanao...but if its just living *amongst the local folk on the beach with your unregistered boat is what you are looking for (many coastal areas here the fisherman folk live in sub standard housing)聽 & being able to teach (especially English) for free is your higher calling...then that itself would an added advantage.

So best of luck.

Cheers

I suggest that you read the Philippine law that governs recreational boat ownership, as it contradicts some of the things you may have heard.



If it is ever stolen hey will probably ask you why you did not register it.

Agreed wif PD....There's always the 'best practice' method! If you so choose!

As for me I follow what of all my other barangay fisherman folk do & offcourse the only added protection I took was to pay about 50p/month to *one of them (living closest to where I docked my 4man bright Green banca outrigger named her 'Nedy'聽 ) to keep watch for me! Offcourse I would carry the out board engine/oars back home myself each time.
Never had any problems!
I miss her now since you ask!!!

I visited some places in Mindanou . I found them more safer than Manila. I was in Cdo, Iligan, Davao, Gensan, Koronadal, very peacfull.

Absolutely correct. I have commented on Koronadal City here. There are some exceptional spots. There are other spots where there is a higher probability for trouble.

this registration for all recreational craft only came about last year I think

chances are the authorities may never care one way or another though

but just in case someone wants to cross all ts
