buying a new boat
thanks guys in advance for any insight> so I'm a few small decisions away from buying a new (to Me) boat. it's a 2002 pro sport cc 196 with an 02 suzuki 4 stroke. The motor has about 100 hours on it half of which are in fresh. the bottom hasn't been painted. so my first question is where is there a good place to get the botom painted. I've made two calls and I got $700 and a thousand for quotes. I am hoping I can get it done for less than that. The other question is around the purchase of it. I understand that I need three separate bill of sales. 1 each for the boat, motor and trailor. the other thing I am trying to confirm is that I don't have to pay sales tax on the motor, just the boat and trailor? so I would think the smart thing to do it have the motor price out at like 90% of the purchase price so I don't have to pay a bunch in tax....just trying to get my ducks in a row and get this done as cost effecient as possible. any other insight would be appreciated. thank you...
