"the difference is a lib would say anyone over a 25 foot boat should have to pay an extra 5 bucks per foot on anything over 25 foot for registration. mine costs me 26 bucks in maryland for a 27 footer. that would make it 36 bucks, ie 10 bucks extra, a 35 footer would have to pay an extra 50 bucks. this money would distributed to those who have a boat under 25 so they can get a bigger one. then after the boat got over 35 foot they would want 10 extra per foot, so a forty footer would be the extra 50 for the first 10 feet then another 50 for the other 5 feet at 10 per foot. so a 40 foot boat would cost 126 to register it."

Well, my boat is 35 ft. long and Maryland wanted one hell of a lot more than $126 when I bought it. With any luck they are using all that money to improve Chesapeake Bay. At least I hope so.
