In the people’s republic of Massachusetts we have the following;
6.25% sales tax at purchase. +/- $6,500
Excise tax every year. +/- $1,000 in year one
Harbor usage fee every year @ $6/ft. $160
Massachusetts registration every other year. +/- $60
Trailer registration +/- $45
HMS Permit +/- $30
Salt water license. $ ??
Gas tax per tank $80
In short in year one of ownership you have the privilege of paying the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts +/- $8,300 for a 100K boat and +/-$1,800 thereafter.
On top of all of this, the joke of rebating your road tax on gas that you buy at the dock. If you apply for the rebate it results in having to pay sales tax on the gas. The last time I calculate this out, by applying for the rebate on the road tax for 150 gallons of gas I would have had to pay $7.00 additional to the state and this was before the 25% increase in sale tax last year.
But remember comrades this is all for the greater good, to support those who are less fortunate, are here illegally, are too lazy to work or are scamming the system. When is enough enough??????
Their taste for our wealth is insatiable.
