But I'm sure the kids loved them. Hitting 70 on a glass lake is amazing.PurpleThrobber said:
Had two. Gave them up when the kids got to drinking age. Easier to keep them from killings themselves. Or getting run over by those fucking Californians.Pitchfork51 said:We always had a nice boat
Hated it.
I like the jetskis better -
Then again you're right. Once I hit drinking age I drove it up on to the beach accidentally twicePitchfork51 said:

Let's wait and see if this is real of if it's from somebody's uncle's Facebook feed.creepycoug said:
So literally every Cobalt R series is going to have a minimum $10,000 added to the price tag? Are you fucking kidding me?doogie said:Pardon me, fine Club members. I assure you it is a proposal. Been busy today so I’m going back to try and find it. Bottom line on the boat tax seemed to be a one time 10% surcharge upon sale or title transfer on boats 50k and up.
As you can see in the op, that 18’ aluminum is $51k. So it doesn’t take much to trigger the “luxury” label
I’ll track down the link in time but that’s the gist
Fuck this state. I'm moving to Idaho with @PurpleThrobber . -

The "luxury item" tax idea is just dumb. Taxes should be created in a way that makes them hard to avoid paying, and these luxury item taxes are easy to avoid. Unless collecting revenue isn't the objective and doing stupid shit is.

How are State of Washington Boat taxes easy to avoid?
I think you’re making that up. -
Meaning, don't buy a boat. As opposed to a gas tax.doogie said:How are State of Washington Boat taxes easy to avoid?
