I remembered reading your post which prompted me to apply. Thanks

You might get more takers on that form again if you still have it. I don’t have a blank one.

I used ESD's form, took it directly to the courthouse when the registration was due and they did the registration renewal as an antique, I paid the small processing fee, only took a few minutes, it was easy. But I didn't get an antique sticker! Ken, know if there's a way I could get one now?

Hi NoBons;

I’m glad you posted this form for the guys.

Hi IslandTrader;

Yaw I got you on that part. Kind of subjective interpretation and decision.

But now that America is inaugurating a Liberal Democrat in a few days

You could look at it like this –

My boat was powered by a outboard motor and I still have a outboard motor on her.

Or

My boat was powered by a gas combustion engine and it still is.

That should pass the congress.

i read that form and it says the engine needs to be the same year as the vessel. i guess there are exceptions to that ??

Hi Blue197320;

Fuzzy details, fuzzy details as we all know here in the state of Florida the motor is not titled when you purchase a boat. SOOOOO if on my boat title it doesn’t say anything about a motor being a original part of the package purchase maybe it didn’t come with a motor and the original owner of my boat added one later, or maybe it never had a motor. If all boats came with the same motor or the motor was indicated on the ID # like cars then I would know. BUT the truth of the matter is no one knows and since no one knows and the form is not exact enough I sent in my Marine Survey which Did intricate what motor I have on the boat and they approved it.

SOOOO if they said OK who am I to argue with their judgment.

Test to Pass???? Or Test to Fail????
