Any rules regarding boat's city of origin???

[Búzios]

hi there, planning to get an inboard 17 ftr, and with that also add a name to the transom. Question, I'm from Fort Lauderdale, so do I have to list the city as such below the name or can I put another city there? I'd like to put down Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, being my wife's hometown, and also the name of the boat, Búzios, is a famous beach near Rio. <br /><br />Other than the gawking, are there any legal consequences to this???

What ever blows your skirt up long as its not foul language or pornographic.

Isn't there a regulation for the larger boats (ships?) that are documented throught Coast Guard? Thought I saw or read something on the placing home port for these boats. For a 17' boat, as FlyBoyMark says, whatever you choose.<br /><br />BL...
