Anyone buy a used boat lately ?

[Moody]

I know the process for registering the tralior, boat, and motor. But how does the taxes work on the sale?

[haoward]

Goes by the size of the boat (ft) if you are talking about private party

[Moody]

Yes private party and in state

You only pay taxes on the trailer. None on boat and motor. Unless it has changed since 2012.

You are correct tax for trailer only. Wlf fee for boat is by the ft.

Do I have to register the motor?

If motor is not already titled and the previous owner was in Louisiana then you do not have to title motor ....... If you ever plan on selling it the best thing to do it register and title all three .... It cost a bit more but makes it much easier sell later

Thanks for the info guys !

I did not reg my outboard but did pay a little extra to get a title for the boat

Bought an aluminum boat this past weekend and was given a bill of sale and registration application for boating has louisiana reg #, and bill if sale when previous owner bought it. Will that be enough to transfer the boat to me?

I believe you need to get it notarize

[phiboyy13]

Bill of sales are notorized.
