With spring around the corner....I imagine that a lot of Maryland folks with boats...will find other states to register their boats and simply keep them parked in those states. By the end of 2013...the chief guy who counts boat taxes...will announce that over half the boats in Maryland left the state. Everyone will ask why, and be shocked at the logic. How to encourage them to come back? Well....you need to hire up a special company and pay them $500k to figure out how to bring boats back into the state.

Good observation. In fact, the number of boats registered in Maryland has already decreased going from 205,000 in 2007 to 193,000 in 2010.
