Luxury Tax to be introduced to leg. This is just getting insane with all these taxes, ect ect. Contact you local officials. What are they trying to do to MD boating, jesus.
HB 1345 Has been introduced to the legislature. This bill would impose a “ Luxury Tax” on boat with a price greater than $35,000. This TAX is not limited to boats only. Flood the legislature with phone calls to oppose this bill.
You can view the bill at http://mlis.state.md.us/2012rs/bills/hb/hb1345f.pdf

Why not just have a hanger address for your plane in a more friendly state to folks with assets and document your vessel with the Coast Guard? At least performance boats are easily trailered so no way to prove how long the boat has or hasn't been in the state.
I realize what a pain this is but there are plenty of ways to get around this. Hell, even John Kerry moors his boat out of his home state to offset the tax liability. That is the most upsetting part about this is it is the "blue collar" boater that gets hit and just pays it while Johnny big bucks pics up a property in Florida and registers all of the assets there.

Being in Delaware, pretty close to the MD line, I hereby offer up my services in this matter to all MD residents. If you would like to avoid this tax, simply sign over your boat/plane/motorhome/ect to me and you can come and use it whenever you like (as long as Im not out using it at the time).

Yacht registry can set you up with a cooperation in DE that will own the boat legally in DE. No need to live in DE. I think it will cost $250-$300. You can also just register the boat in DE if you do >50% of your boating in DE regardless of your location for about $30 per year on boats over 26'. People that slip their boats may have problems.

People that slip their boats may have problems on the second option.
I see you are located in Dover DE. I will be up there this summer working on Dover AFB, for probobly the rest of the year.... I might bring a boat up, not sure at this moment. I'll look you up when I get up there.

Great idea, but it doesn't work if you are trying to get over on them. They pay people to ride around in boats and take pictures of boats in slips or on lifts with "out of state" numbers. They follow up a couple of times and date the photos.....and then slam people with a fine and demand for payment. Right Spicy?

You should read all the advantages of starting a LLC or general corp before passing along some Maryland story about officials taking photos of boats and writing fines. Smart people research before passing unfounded second hand BS.
