Paid $70 this year for a 2004 20' Intruder that I bought new in 2005...like others I wasn't very happy the first year that I had to license it...

[quote=eyeFISH]Went on-line to renew my boat tabs (just the boat, not the trailer)
Filing fee Goes to county in which fee is paid. $3.00
License fee For general state programs & city/county marine patrols. $10.50
Watercraft excise tax Funds general state programs. $257.00
JAY EFF SEE! $257 ! ! ! !
License service fee Supports licensing services systems. $0.75
Derelict vessel/invasive species removal For removal of derelict vessels and aquatic invasive species. $6.00
….
Registration of boats and implementation of the excise tax has clarified the taxation of pleasure boats and resulted in uniform treatment of all boat owners throughout the state.
JEEBUS! Ya gotta feed the beast, Doc.
Would you rather pay fees for services that climb higher every year? What services are "climbing" besides our financial obligation to our government...?

For comparison: Wyoming - sucks Washington - doesn't suck Agree with JTD. It isn't the taxes that rub people wrong - it's the way the money is pissed away that rubs people wrong. If the money is pissed away I don't trust those same pissers to tell me what a reasonable amount of money is in the first place.

nothing personal doc but
What else sucks is when you go to the eye clinic to have cataracts repaired w/o insurance. Then one doesn't heal and the eye doc says no problem we can fix that with a laser and it is painless and only takes about 10min. His estimate was in the $800 range.............you should see his home. That is a bit of a straw man argument and here is why. The government isn't competing for your business like an eye doctor does. The market values quality eye care, therefore, it costs quite a bit. The market has little influence on licensing fees/taxes and those collecting those fees/taxes have no incentive to be efficient with that money. Hence, the "leaning on shovels" problem. If you wanted a nice house like an eye doctor might have (after paying off many thousands of dollars worth of medical school debt) perhaps you should have become a doctor. Don't let envy eat you up, life is too short.

The tab fees are utter bull$h!t, KK
It shouldn't cost any more to register a 10 yr old boat than a brand new one. Sure, charge a premium based on size/horsepower… more wear/tear on the roads, larger carbon footprint on the environment. That would make sense…. and it should apply to an old boat as much as a new one.
This is just more liberal-a$$ progre$$ive taxation.
The guy$ buying new boat$ are already getting a ginormou$ bite out of their a$$ the fir$t go around on the $ale$ tax.

Ya, when it comes to the State nickle and dimeing me on top of renting my property from them for ridiculous amount my ethics are somewhat challenged, but I didn't intend to be bragging.

most of your late night posts seem to be bitching about something or another....might want to think before you post.
Really? You're going to give advice to someone else about their content? That's pretty f'n funny coming from the biggest schit stain on this board.

Sales tax is the same for all taxable purchases across the board, 6.5% to the state, balance varies according to the local rate.
Anybody would know that, its common knowledge.
When you fund a state via sales tax, and its published, its not exactly New news, you know that going in Same is true for registration fees, its easily researched prior to purchase, and bitching about self inflicted wounds gets you zero sympathy from me doc.
most of your late night posts seem to be bitching about something or another....might want to think before you post.
Complaining about a 300 dollar fee,considering the use you get out of that barge seems somewhat disingenuous to me.
But for some, whining about everything is a hobby, especially where government is concerned.
Go back to your first post, and see if being 27th out if 50 is ' tax hell'
Mist reasonable people would have a hard time buying that definition... Just because we are 27th out of 50 doesn't make it right. We are all being taxed to high to support a heavy load of public sector jobs.

I find it ironic and kinda irritating that any guide that makes their living off the taxpayers (hatchery fish) is complaining when they're asked to give a little back to the tax base. You folks are getting a free ride IMO.

Feel free to move....nobody forces you to stay..as much as you bitch about this state, sorta surprised you stay.
Slide on down to one of those states with less tax burden...
Like Texas, or Louisiana....I hear It's lovely this time of year, and the fishing is good there too. Seeing how you stayed in the US when Bush was in office I think I'll stay and work for change.

There's a reason you're known as sndyknt. The constant whining from your sniveling ass get nauseating. Put on your big girl panties sometime, and at least consider not crying about everything like a 3 year old girl.... Bitch Listen to what? Some bitter old hag who can't handle someone having a different opinion? Look in the mirror before tossing out names because they'd apply directly to the person you're staring at. Go hop on Rachel Maddow, you're her type.
