Please let me get this Boat!!!!! And The Winner Is!!!!

4.0. Hardly done a thing to this since I had it.

The 4.0 will go forever but suck on gas. I have it in my 05 Wrangler.

My boat is kept in PA, we had to register the boat in PA but the trailer had to be registered in NY where our primary residence is.

Out of state reg shouldn’t be a big deal. It will keep its original boat tag numbers as that stays with the boat but you will get local state reg sticker and the trailer will need a new title and reg for the current state. The boat will need a new title as well. Again not a big deal just time. I’ve had to do this a couple of times.

Nice work Brin! Congrats for sure!

Just figured out the boat is registered out of state and probably still in her dad name. This maybe painful!

Let's hope that this will all be as pain free as possible. I don't know how Texas titles, registers, and taxes boats, motors, and trailers, but is there a clear title on each or a lien? Is the father alive or did he pass? If he passed away, how did the daughter come into possession of the boat?

On another note, I don't crappie fish, but all the guys I know that do have the Panoptix LiveScope and swear by it. They say it's a real game changer once you learn to use it...

Keep us updated, good luck and good fishing!!

Car doors are not the way to shorten rods, but they are efficient at it!

I guess it from her brother. She never had it transfered. This is message from her. Not sure how this going to work now?

Yes I have the title in hand signed from my brother to me and all the paper work done, but have yet had the opportunity to get to courthouse to have everything thing completed and transferred thanks to CoVid, someone is always sick and they have been short handed. I’m gonna try again on Tuesday. Maybe there’s a short cut, but no big deal if not.

She could just give you the title, or titles, signed by her brother, but there MAY BE 3 different titles. One for the motor, one for the boat, and one for the trailer. When I say motor, I'm talking about an outboard motor, inboards are looked at differently. I have a 3 separate titles for my boat, motor, and trailer, but only had to register and pay property taxes on the boat and motor separately, no taxes on the trailer. Some states require a license plate on the trailer which may mean registering and paying taxes on it, as well as the boat and motor. Some states register and tax it all as a package. Different states do things differently so call your department of natural resources and find out exactly what you'll need to register a boat purchased from another state.

My current boat and my last boat were both purchased from out of state, Georgia and Florida, and the paperwork wasn't too much trouble. Just don't let the paperwork dissuade you from getting your new boat, it's just a necessary evil along your path to fishing heaven. You'll be catching stripers and crappie before you know it... I expect some pictures from your first fish fry..

South Carolina assesses taxes based on a book value also, but I'm not sure what book or where they get that value from. When that value gets down to $500, we no longer have to pay property taxes, just yearly registration fees to obtain decals which is currently $10...

Isn't today the day? We need pictures...

She never transferred the boat from her brother. She suppose to go today and file for new titles and have it expedited. This takes 2 weeks but with the titles being out of state not sure? I am going to wait until she receives new titles. Always something!

Well I hate that for you, but sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for...

good luck. the boat buying/selling market has become as messed up as Washington DC. over-bidding, walk-outs, idiots with non-conforming wives. people without real money. I' ve had a little whaler like dinghy for sale nd the offers and questions would confound stupidity.

Sold my oldest son's car yesterday. Literally had a guy offer me a 2007 Honda Accord, iPad pro and a guitar tuner as a trade lol. Ridiculous. On a bright note I got $4500 over book value for the car and didn't even feel bad about it

good luck on that. I've been thinning the herd here JUst unload a little 13' skiff used for the keys and sandbar. If there

was a mechanic in S FL. capable of working on 2 strokes that are pre-computer, id' surely welcome one.

 

[BrianGSDTexoma]

good luck on that.

I getting it in the morning. I looking forward to using that Live Scope.

They got the title issues worked out? Yeah!
My son had a similar problem with a 1972 Montgomery Wards Sea King boat and trailer he purchased a couple years ago in ND.
They had passed between MN and ND with differing rules. MN licenses boat trailers and ND does not. Luckily with low value and the age a simple bill of sale let him get both licensed in MN. Well, he moved to ND.

Start with a simple carburetor rebuild, flushing the fuel tank, and replacing all of the fuel lines. The electrical rarely fails outside of the trigger.

So today's the day, congrats Brian, I'm happy for you. BUT a word of warning to the potential victims...FISH BEWARE, he's coming for you!!

As for the LiveScope, all of the guys I know that fish brush piles and other structure for crappie say it's a game changer.

More pics when you get it home. Exciting day for sure. Congrats again Brian.
