gm280 , Here in Ontario Canada when we buy retail you pay all the tax (13%) upfront. When you sell the buyer has to licence the boat, car or trailer you pay the tax once more. When we buy gas there is provincial tax and then federal tax on top the provincial so you pay tax on the tax, lol.

If a new car in Ontario is sold one pays 13% tax plus PDI, AC tax and a few others. If that same car is sold 5 times in it's lifetime before it makes it's way to the scrap heap the taxes and fees paid to the Province and Feds will be more than the initial price of the vehicle! We should all get together and start up a new Country. You can not lose money.

you will lose money like crazy if you just give it all away to people who have no intention of working for a living......one person may give you $10K per year but another person is sucking $50K per year

Yeah we could name our new country 'StarMadia' and all the citizens have to own at least one. :lol:

Guys - Talk about the boat ads, not the government. Junk or questionable boats is the topic.

Thanks.

I've always had good luck buying boats and outboard. Last week I went to check out a decent deal on a Yamaha 4 stroke 15hp. Said it sat for a year and dint start. Got there and had sand everywhere in it. Questioned it big time. Found out it was insurance salvage and it was pulled off the bottom of the river. "I'm sure since it's not locked up it will run" haha yeah. .....

Hate getting there to look at a good running motor and it's covered in enough grime that you can't see the block color. For me clean is washed at least every few times out.
