$26.00 if it’s 16’ or less. $15.00 for boat title. $12.00 for trailer registration. 6% sales tax on the purchase price. I’m sure there’s fees charged by the tag place as well but the big bucks is the sales tax. You will need to take ID and bill of sale. I’m curious to hear what the deal is?
1989 Lund with trailer and stuff for $800
Turned out to be a scam. After going back and forth all day about coming to look at it, they hit me with the boat not being where it was supposed to be, like in another state, and asked for my contact info so I could be contacted for shipping and to send the money.
Hell no! I am not sending money for a boat I have not seen!
The ad was on Harrisburg Craigslist and supposedly located in Carlisle. I contacted within minutes of it being posted, because I was looking at boat porn
It was flagged and gone by the next day. I found the same ad on other craigslist locations.
Welcome to the dark side
Eh, not quite yet, unfortunately. But Troutspinner is seducing me quickly
Ah, hell, I'd sell out and buy one right now if I could afford it.
Be sure that the car which you plan to use is rated for the weight of the boat and trailer and has a small amount of lee-way. For instance a 2013 Jetta like the one I drive is rated at 2000 but the trailer needs brakes. I don't want brakes on a boat trailer as small as mine. The non-braked rating in somewhat lower at 1499lbs. My little boat/trailer is under 1000.
Hahaha, Mark!
That is something I need to look into. I took a look inside the door frame yesterday, looking for that sort of info. But all I saw was tire info and cargo weight. Nothing about towing. I might get one on the Rav 4 instead of the Corolla, but I have to check whether an after market hitch would affect the warranty and pre paid maintenance plan. I know Toyota will charge $250-$300 more than U Haul to put an official hitch on. U haul on the Corolla is like $360. Toyota on the Rav is closer to $600.
Hitch just bolts on the vehicle
Yeah, I don't ask mechanics to suction themselves or run their own ventilators. If I try to just bolt a hitch on I'd bet money it would come off on the highway somewhere and the boat would pass me in the other lane.
If I were still in TX I'd go to my brother. He's a "Melvinp". He'd make me do it, but talk me through it using his tools in his garage and then he'd make sure I hadn't screwed it up. More likely after I screwed up enough he'd just take over and do it right. Much better for me to just pay a professional who knows how to screw it up correctly
Funny story there. So I was a teenager, dad was teaching us to change our own oil. I broke two filters and dad said "You're brother and I will do the oil from now on." I still had to set the VCR, and fix the guns.
Well, this one fell through, but sooner or later there will be one.
