Trailer Reg $$$$
Just went to renew my boat trailer registration and noticed it went from $53 last year to $80 this year!!!  What is everyone else paying?
Also noticed I have been registering it for 4000 lbs. I tow a 20' boat. Is this right? @ $20 per 1000 lbs is this to much? |

It is now $20 per 1000 pounds of gross weight. So if you have a trailer that is rated to carry 5000 pounds and the trailer weighs 1000 pounds, you will now pay $120 per year.

I don't feel bad that I didn't opt for a boat but a kayak instead.
At first it was the fuel issue, but now with the state's aggressive tax & fee system (tax and fee us to death, and then tax our cold dead bodies on top of that!) it now makes me feel like I made a smart choice. (That is , smart for me.) I do feel your pain, since we as a state are paying more for the previledge you pay for more state hacks. I wouldn't be as bitter if the fees we pay actually went where they are supposed to, but I guess I'm just naive to think the state would actually do ANYTHING the way it was supposed to be done?

I,ve tried contacting a couple of reps and they got right back to me,Tried Sen. O,Leary and never got a response.
Tried the little leader in the big chair and no response.
Think about it from 8 dollars per thousand lbs to 20 dollars per thousand lbs.
That's 250% no mater how you look at it.

Its been $20.00 for every thousand pounds now for awhile hasn't it been. And besides, you still probably are not registering the trailer for the maximum GVWR of the trailer, which is what your suppose to register it for. If you under register weight rating wise and have a problem of some sort it could spell trouble. But that is hardly ever checked anyways.

Have you guys checked on whether you need to get your trailer inspected? Other types of trailers have too now.

but on a serious note
this specific thread
has allowed me to plant the seed
in the wife's concious mind
over the weekend
that a Kayak is a wiser investment
than a large boat due to the
increasing costs of registrations.
