Sales tax?

[FLTENNHUNTER1]

The break in isn't near as bad as I expected.
10 hours and for the first 2 don't get over 4,500 rpm then after that for the next 8 you can use full throttle but not for more than 1 minute out of every 10 and don't hold a steady rpm for over 15 min.
I might be off on my minutes but basically vary your speed alot and don't hold it at one speed for very long.

I got it wrote down at home exactly what he told me.

Sounds about right and similar to my Yamaha SHO breakin. I'm sure Merc is the same as Yamaha in being able to connect to your motor and are able to upload the information from your motor regarding engine RPM and other information. They will be able to tell if you didn't break it in correctly and I'm sure use it against you if anything happens to the motor during the warranty period. Just an FYI if you didn't already know.

That's always what I did. Pay taxes on the BOAT only. They don't need to know what you have on it and no trailers do not need registration unless it's commercial I believe

Where were you guys when I bought my Scout?!

I was probably at work wishing I could be out on my boat lol. I whimper a little every time I walk by it in the garage as I'm heading to work. Lol

Inferior fender welds according to the boat's owner. Who am I to argue?

I just registered a boat in Polk Co; called the clerk and was told 7 percent; when I got there it turned out to be 10 percent.

Something to consider if private sale....

You register the boat, not the outboard and therefore pay sales tax on the boat when you register it. If I was buying a boat tomorrow, I'd buy it in 3 separate transactions and get a bill of sale for each:

1. Hull
2. Outboard
3. Trailer(do you have to register the trailer in TN? I'm not sure)

When I registered it, I would only give the bill of sale for the hull(boat) unless I needed to register the trailer as well.

This is common practice in FL for private sales. Doesn't work at a dealership as they collect sales tax at time of purchase on the whole package.

I don't think you have to register a trailer in Tennessee unless taking it out of state.

The TN State tax is 7%, but then you have the county tax, which is different per county, slightly, but most get you close to 10%.
