I'm sure you discovered that misinformation in earlier responses notwithstanding, you can renew a boat TIP online within the 90 day window prior to expiration. And, you don't need to take your boat anyplace to do it. I went through the process last month. My situation was complicated a bit because the trailer I brought the new boat to Mexico on ten years ago was stolen and replaced, and the boat was also repowered with a new motor three years ago. When I attempted renewal online I ignored the advice of the Banjercito agent at Pichelingue and tried to update the trailer/motor information. That attempt was unsuccessful. The solution was to cancel the original TIP (still prior to expiration) and get a new one with the updated information. That is what I did and the boat never left the boathouse at the end of my driveway in Loreto. As to the 20 year limit before starting over, that is how the rules appear to read. If so, although I may not hold up that long, with ten years already in the bank I should be good TIPwise for another 20 |

I heard that rumor, but the same rumor was circulating a couple of months ago. I hope it comes to pass this time. In the meantime I've been fishing out of Lopez Mateos where the rule is that gringo sport fishermen can fish on their own boats but they must use a registered Mexican capitan. To comply I've been taking along Ruben Duran. Last week in the company of Ruben I caught my first wahoo limit of the year along with some little yellowfin and a nice dorado. |
