Re: [Paddlewise] Registration of watercraft

MN and IL appear to have the same exception regarding registration of
out-of-state watercraft.  The MN authorities have interpreted the law as
follows: watercraft from states that have registration requirements, e.g. IA
and IL do not need MN registration until the watercraft is resident in MN
for more than 60 days; watercraft from states that do not require
registration e.g. CO and WI, must be registered in MN or their home state
when used on MN waters.  

I would expect that the authorities in other states would have the same
requirements.

I am in the process of building a boat and I have not saved receipts to show
that I paid sales tax on the materials, I guess I will have to see if
whining and pleading will get me out of paying double taxation.  Silence
kept me from having to pay  addition taxes on a boat I bought from a dealer
in another state.  Perhaps wide-eyed innocence will work again.
