Interesting, however one guesses that hard-working tax payers comprise a large fraction of Cali boat owners.

Another invitation to pack up and head to Texas or Florida.

And, one additionally guesses that union members own a lotta boats in the once-golden-state. Talk about a conflict...

If you live in California, and own a boat you can afford it.

Always about more taxes, but never about CUTTING SPENDING! Why are Californians paying health care for illegal invaders, and room and board for “homeless” people? Stop the madness California!!! Newsome is a demon.

California wants to discourage people from owning boats.

?

By Definition of what classifies as a boat subject to registration, You have to register, have hull numbers and tag any Watercraft powered by a motor, electric or gas.

my 700 dollar canoe with a electric trolling motor has a pink slip, tags and ca hull numbers on the side and I am required to bring proof of registration on it when in use, regardless of whether the trolling motor is on or not.

That 700 dollar canoe has its reg cost increased by 300%.

Serves multiple purposes.

1. The rich will pay it and find write-offs.

2. Some rich will dock in mexico or canada.

3. Some rixh will sell their boats and be done with it.

4. Lesser classes may just sell their boats. Decreasing the boat going population is key for liberals. Less pollution, less freedom of movement, less income for dock owners and clubs, and more

All that money needed for reparations has to come from somewhere. This is just the beginning.

All those nautical Californians whose ancestors were “Shanghaied” are now going to ask for reparations.

Oregon was charging a $17 annual fee for anything that got thrown in the water. People must have griped pretty loudly, because it’s now on “boats” 10’ and over. I never did buy one for my pontoon boat.
