No, he's just barking - period. Another serious non-contributor.

I agree. He is trying his best to stir up some ****, Chuck's one line
comment concerning the election and the effect on gas prices, wither
correct or incorrect, was not meant to start a political discussion or
bash anyone or their politics, but to discuss the effect gas prices have
on boat sales.

He slams Chuck, and then tells Chuck to "drop it".

That is one of the few catagories of boat under 10' where there would
be
large numbers of sales.

I was guessing inflatables with an outboard. Most states do not
require registration for unpowered craft.

And that is the case in Washington. If you don't hang a motor on it,
you can have a 60-foot rowboat and pay no registration fees.

Same in CT. Although I've never figured out if you have to pay excise
or property tax on an unregistered 110' sail boat. If it's not
registered, in this state anyway, the town doesn't know you own it.

PWC's are included in the "under 10-foot" category, but I have no
evidence that PWC sales are up. A lot of people say, "Been there, done
that," and the glitz is now off the fad.

Couldn't prove that by me. I get buzzed by those damn things all the
time and most of them look pretty freakin' new to me.

I was thinking that the DMV gets a copy of all the sales. you just do not
have to register it, if it is under a certain length and no motor.

I can't say that's true either. What if you buy the boat out of
state?

As I understand it, only vessels with engines have to be registered in
this state. If it doesn't have a engine, it doesn't have to be
registered and all the reporting to the town goes through the DMV.

In fact, I don't believe it's like a car either. When I bought my
Ranger, for example, I had to go to the Registry to have it registered
as there was no previous record of it being in this state. Same with
the Halman - it's not registered in this state either. And now that I
think about that (I know - I'm old, thinking can be a slow process) I
know of several boats in my old marina that weren't registered because
there weren't any engines on the boat.

In California, there is a length limit on the no motor, not registration
thing. Otherwise, you would not have to register your America's cup boat,
and the state would not like losing taxes.

Omigosh, JimH! Are you suggesting that my casual observation that fuel
prices have been declining as the election approaches is some sort of
statement advising people not to vote for any Republicans?

How in the world did you arrive at that interpretation? After all,
aren't the Republicans overseeing this current, miraculous, nosedive in
fuel prices? I would think the average American would be grateful to
the Republicans for reducing the price of gas. Right?

You're barking up the wrong tree on this one.

As usual!

ROTF!

So Kevin still continues to sniff every post I make. I thought that boy
finally learned his lesson but obviously I was wrong.

Maybe I should take him out of my KF (the non boater Reggie stays there so
he can play with himself) so I can once again get my daily laughs. ;-)
