Registering a boat
 

So I bought a boat in 2013 when I was home on leave when I was in the military. Shortly after I left and went back to North Carolina for 5 months or so until the end of my contract. The boat sat at my dads house until then. I did not register it and when I was in North Carolina I called WLF and they told me there is no penalty for not transfering the registration within 15 days.

Since I got out with trouble finding a job and other bills I have not had much money to do anything with the boat. I managed to fix it a bout a year ago but only because the parts were fairly inexpensive.

Now I have the ability to get it registered in my name and fix the other stuff on it that needs to be done. But here's the deal

It is a 12 ft aluminum flat with a mercury 6 on the back. I am looking at the application and it gives a fee schedule for 25 hp boats and above.

What would I have to pay since it is not above 25 hp? What is the exact things I need to indicate on the form to accomplish getting it registered in my name? Do I need to transfer the expired registration or just do a new registration? Is it going to be the $23 registration fee or do I need to pay the extra $8 for the transfer too?

I would have to look at my paperwork, but I think we did the boat and motor title transfer when I bought the boat at the titling place in Lake Charles.

I appreciate the help.

The best thing to do is drive to Baton Rouge and ask them. You can get it all done and leave there with new registration and not have to wait.
