Other California ski registration went up 80%!

[Tyrant1919]

So all three of my skis now take $36 to register instead of the normal $20. Thanks to some mussel prevention bull. Somehow I think $16 dollars extra per boat is a bit much. Hell I'd pay $20 extra if they kept the launch ramps in a decent shape and opened up the bathrooms.

That state will never cease to rape their taxpayers. its amazing that anyone lives there anymore. Although, I'm glad so many choose to stay put. Californians seem to bring their tax philosophy to every state they move to. Colorado is quickly being overtaken and ruined.

I don't even ride anywhere there are mussels so why should i have to pay? Its just stupid and with multiple skis registration is going to be ridiculous! Im starting to not want to live in CA anymore. Taxes and too many morons..

 

[tom21]

its not just cali, its a national epidemic.

 

[MADMAT]

OMG that is such BS!

 

[SuperJETT]

Kentucky is ~$40/ski per year PLUS property taxes based on value.

 

[CRJ]

has a thousand dollar hand pole, complains about $36 per year to keep the ski legal... man, must be tough.


in canada, registration lasts 10 years and is completely free!

 

[speedysprocket]

I work with a Canadian now, and he tells me Canadians are moving to California because the taxes are that much "less" than in Canada!

 

[CRJ]

yea we have 13%. id move to florida though. a house here thats worth 85K is 500K where i live. all depends on the province, i mainly just hate the cold.

 

[jetskijockey]

Wait until they come up with the "Asian Carp tax" lol if that is even a problem in California.

People are leaving California for more reasons than just the over taxation. 2A violations, illegals and stinking hippie liberals to name a few. Don't blame transplants for your issues, most of your problems are home grown! I was born and raised in Cali and it sucks I'm going to have to eventually leave because of the above mentioned. Don't worry, Colorado isn't even on my list of places to go

Also, isn't if funny how Canadian's are so quick to tell you how great Canada is? Of course your registration is good for 10 years, could it be because it takes you that long to get the ride time I do in one season?

 

[CRJ]

lol we ride march to november, i ride 3-4 days a week. we can tough the cold no problem. im in florida right now with 75 degree weather and 70 degree water, and these guys are calling it freezing. LOL guys i ride with will go out if the water isnt frozen.

boat registration is free, theres no insurance required and all launches not at marinas are free.

 

[Jetfiend]

CRJ, quick, delete your post before all these knuckleheads in Cali read it. Before you know it you will start having "Cali" problems! LMAO

You can get a exception for this fee if u only use ur watercraft in coastal waters. It's a pain in the arse but may keep a few bucks away from the government http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/vehindustry/vin_memos/vin2013/13vin20.pdf

How's TX treating you so far? How's it compare to CA?

 

[Half flip95]

the best part of the mussel tax is that the money doesn't actually go to preventing the spread of the mussels (you still have to pay for that in your water bills) its just another way to increase revenues for the bureaucracy

Oh the mighty Quagga mussel, we got hit with a $5 tag for every vessel also in NV, even kayaks. It will be interesting what they are going to do about it. Lake Havasu is infected, so anyone that put their ski in Havasu might be infected , unless you completely dried out your ski and the water system(waterbox). They better find a good predator to eat these creatures. Lake Tahoe has inspections setup for every vessel, every time you come up, I think they want $20 for every inspection.

My friend had something that looked like this but he took some ointment and it all cleared up. :lmao:
