Thought it would be interesting to see what individuals across the country pay their state to own/operate a watercraft.  I just received my renewal notification in the mail and the cost is $75.60 for the next 3 years.  That comes out to $25.20 for each year.

 

I feel as though its a very reasonable cost to have a fishing boat.  Heck, I'd pay more of they charged more.

Oh crap, glad this came up, I need to renew this year....last registration period was $44.00 per 2 years ... $22/yr.

 

Insurance this year is $175

I renewed my boat insurance through Progressive in December and the cost of that was $182.  I find that to be very reasonable too for a whole year.  They have a vanishing deductible if you don't submit a claim and mine is down to zero now.  I've never submitted a claim.

$44 for 2 yrs, under 16’. $66 for 2 yr, 16’-26’’.

Totally agree and wouldn't hit the water without it either ... Mine is thru Progressive as well

 

The vanishing deductible is a new one on me...I probably have it and didn't realize it. Now I have homework to do, thanks a lot!  

Bout $30/yr for one of them, little less for the shorter boat. Going up again this yr, not sure how much yet 

Renewed mine last year for 3 years.  $84

Depends on size in Virginia. My 17 footer is 36$ for 3 years

Property tax/registration (per year): $120 on the boat; $40 on the engine; $140 in lake permits

Pro-V Bass ~ Boat, Motor & Trailer in MI

Trailer ~  one time tag (never expires) fee $75

3 yr vessel registration ~ $42

Annual Insurance for boat, motor & trailer (With Progressive thru USAA) $369 

 and I'm at the Zero deductible now.

Also there's the Tow vehicle REG (Disabled Veterans no cost) but the insurance is not.

Now if I could just get one of those free gas cards. 

Gotta pay to play.

Just cam back from the mail box and my boat policy just came in ... ha ... not kidding ... irony isn't lost. Anyway, not sure what happened between now and a month ago when I got the e-mail, but my premium is $150 

 

HELLOOO BAIT MONKEY  

 

EDIT: Oh wait, I'm hearing my mooring fee just went up ... can't catch a break!

In Pa. all depends on size and if motorized 

12’ and motorized in NJ. $12 a year. 

I pay $39 for two years. I renew my boat policy in March so I can’t comment on that. 

Boat registration is $25/year. Registration for the trailer for a year is $109

I just glanced at the fees - Bass Trek is smaller, so it'd be around $50 for three years - so $17 a year. My trailer has a lifetime tag, so no more paying for that, and my Insurance through Farmers is $125 a year.

 

So a bit under $150 a year...ya, I'll pay that and be happy.

Here in Arkansas, for a 16’ to 26’ boat it’s $15.00 for three years. If my boat was 15’ and under, $5.00 for three years.

They make it up with personal property taxes. Pay those every year.

Because my boat is under 16’ I pay $22.50 in New York State.

Once registered you only pay the renewal fee every year. Then add the trailer, which is about $40 per year.

So renewal on my Sportspal canoe  and trailer is around $50 per year.

15'11" $35 for 3 years in GA
