Texas peeps. How much do you pay in boat tax annually?

off topic but on...

I FINALLY have an appt tomorrow at 7:45am to get tags on our trailer. bought the boat back on 7/15 and haven't had tags or temps on it. had an appt on oct15 and they said the state cop that did the trailer vin inspection didn't do it right so that was wasted hour. second appt coming up.

interestingly cop that did the inspection back in august told me they stopped pulling people over months prior for expired or no tags. he said the head state cop stated "since the dmv can't figure out how to get people in and out in a timely fashion state troopers would stop enforcing tags". I still see temp tags running around town that expired back in march/april 2020.

I’m guessing that’s sticker weight and not contact weight. It’s worth an hour of emptying the boat out to avoid inspection though. Just such a PITA process for such little result.

I would assume this is based off of the trailer GVWR. My Mojo trailer is exactly 7500# so and I have never been asked to get the trailer inspected for registration purposes. I think you're SA is over this limit though.

That is right David. Book says dry boat and trailer weight of 6,900. No doubt over the 7,500 when loaded. I think in the spring one day I will swing by a shop and get inspected.

She said it would only be a problem if a cop wanted to weigh it. Which would probably only happen in bad accident investigation. But then all the ford guys are in trouble at that point over their hitch. Haha! Just startin shit!
