should I get AZ tags?

[ryantparks]

Just bought my 1st boat used, 02 Ultra Stealth, and need to know pros and cons of registering it in Ca where I live or in Az where we mainly go. I have it in storage in Bullhead now. I hear AZ tags are far less expensive. Is there any problem towing a boat w/Az tags and license plate in Ca w/a Ca registered vehicle? Thanks for all help.

You'll want to keep the boat registered in AZ for tax and tags purposes, but register the trailer in Ca. to avoid fines for if/when you tow it home.

How do you go about registering the boat in Az? I have one I need to get registered. Do you know the tele number? or can it be done online?? Thanks...

You can renew by mail, but, change of ownership on title or first time registration you do in person ... boat @ Fish & Game, trailer @ DMV.

I registered mine in AZ when I was in SoCal, I called them up and they sent me all the forms to fill out and I had to send them a copy of my original paperwork on the boat along with a check!, a week later, I got my title and tags, piece of cake!, check out their site!.....

I've had over 20 boats registered in AZ, all by mail (thats why they have the biggest pleasureboat navy in the US). AZ Game and Fish. However in the past few years they have really raised the non-residency fee's, at least doubled, but still cheaper than CA or NV. In all those years, only one sheriff, harbor patrol, lake patrol ever questioned me and that was at Elsinore years ago (not the cop of today) Its no big deal...

AZ Game and Fish Department Phone Number is:
602-942-3000
When they start with the: "Press one to report a wounded woodchuck" "Press 2 if you've been mauled by a bear", etc.. routine, just press "0" to get to an operator, and ask for Watercraft registration.
Please register often, and tell all your friends to register their boats in AZ, too. (The registraion fees help pay my Salary! :D )

Gofast, Boatcop and Burt: Thank you for the good info. I will put it to use. The nasty part of my deal is that because my new boat is currently registered at my Ca. address the L.A. County tax man has slammed a lein as well as stopped the new tags paperwork from coming from the DMV. Now I'm not being a dickhead here and I paid the L.A. tax on my flattie because I use it here, however my new boat was towed from the San Diego boat show to the river in AZ. and has never been back to Ca.
I have tried to explain all this and even tried to provide a copy of my property deed along with utility bills from the AZ. house to no avail though. So off to Fish and Game for me!!!!!
Anybody else experienced this kind of stuff with Ca. or L.A. County :confused: ?????
Do ya think I'm cheatin Ca. or helping AZ.?????
Thanks again :D .

Depending on the length of your boat your gonna save a few $$$ by registering in Nevada....of course if ya boat there wink (Mead, Mohave and part of the Colorado River are in Nevada :D :D )
A 21' Stealth registered in Nevada would be $30/year in AZ it would be $88.70 for non resident (20.00+52.20+16.50)
A 22' Stealth registered in Nevada would be $30/year in AZ it would be $94.20 for non resident (20.00+52.20+22.00)
A 28' Stealth registered in Nevada would be $60/year in AZ it would be $116.20 for non resident (20.00+52.20+44.00)
Nevada does not have resident/non resident. It's the same for both. Arizona is gonna be cheaper cause of the tax part....but it looks like there's even more savings in Nevada....
Arizona fees....

Acceptence, If I use my AZ. address I won't have any problems? I will just have to check my mail there once a year. CA. is just money hungry, they won't be happy untill every working guy moves out of the state. Then they will see how much tax dollars they receive :mad:

I would think the boat registration would work the same way, registered to the AZ. address and the mail to a mailing address like the autos. No, yes, maybe????
Anybody have a clue how the mail and boat registration works, do they do that???

[boatnam2]

they mail my registration to my house in california without no questions.

Your somewhat right though...but the ford is a chevy and the Skater is hooked to the pusher so thats not moving anywhere.
You can move the Magic over to the other side but you better not scratch it anywhere moving it!!!
Don't even think of touching my flattie!!!!!!!
Move Bob's skater in and then yours will fit safe and sound, warm as a bug in a rug...
Oh...Yeah, when is the new motor going to be dropped off??? The boys in the shop have about polished everything in sight waiting for that thing and I'm running out of work for them. Besides I would like to get the Fountain rigged and do some testing with it before I split for Flordia... Don't have no lame excuss either, just get the new motor here allready. Thanks, G

[J540]

Like I said, I'm going to bring your motor by the end of next month - well before the Florida trip. If it wasn't for the stupid bolts in the motor stand that i told you weren't gonna hold in the first place, it wouldn't have fallen. jawdrop So now Billet Fab. is making a new oil pan and the blower had to be repaired because the snout broke the billet blower end cap. CMI repaired the Big E tops but just doesn't look the same so I'm getting you another set and I'll just sell these or keep 'em for my other motor. The nick in the Big Chief's is fixed too. But anyway, the motor at the dyno made 1863HP - 25 lbs. of boost @ 7200RPM. So you should be very happy. I'm not even gonna tell you what the torque was. I'll just bring you the sheet. I still think we need to go with the EFI on the motor with Kensler's computer. Pan should be done next week...got new blower end cap...waiting for CMI. Oh, by the way, maybe we should run an elec. water pump on this motor...NOT!! :rolleyes: I was at the river house looking in the garage seeing what I could manouver around to make room for my boat. Don't worry about the scratch on the flattie...it'll buff out. & yah, I'm taking inventory - so move over.

[ACCEPTENCE]

YOU DROPPED THE MOTOR?????? :mad:
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR NOODLE???? jawdrop
I'm not payin for that stuff, your eatin it or I am comin out there and kickin your ASS yuk
