Cost of boat ownership by state

[Pipe_Dream]

Registration for a hull in S.C. is $30. I can't find my registration fee I paid for the outboard, but it's around the same, I believe. What he may be talking about is Personal Property Tax, which residents pay on cars, boats, airplanes, and the like, which are registered in the state. That can be pretty steep, and is based upon the value shown in their little books. Which was another good reason for me to re-fit my 22 year old hull instead of buying a new one! I haven't yet received the first property tax bill on my new Yamaha, though, and I'm not looking forward to it! :o
