My friend in Westlake bought a boat less than 10 years old.
It was documented with the USCG, so it didn't have to be registered in La.
La. then changed the laws, every boat in La. had to be registered, even if
it is documented. If documented, it has to have a La. registration sticker,
but not registration numbers.
When he registered it with the state, they hit him with a tax bill stating that
his boat was under 10 years old and he had to pay taxes on it to the state.
I didn't see it in writing, I am just telling you what happened to him. My
source is from someone who got hit first hand.
