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...

Craig, why are you having someone paint the bottom. I'm 65 years old and do my own every year. 20' Sea Hunt. As I recall I didn't have to pay any sales tax on the boat or motor, just the trailer.
