[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=waxdart]Hi. can anyone tell me the process for buying, picking up and legally transporting a hobie 16' and trailer from Alabama across the state line into Florida? DMV is telling me i need all kinds of paperwork that largely doesn't exist with the sellers, seems to be relevant to a bigger vessel anyway, and would need to be in place for any boat i go look at and like and want to buy on the spot. Thanks[/quote]
waxdart,
Welcome to TheBeachcats.com! This is kind of an difficult subject, because these registration, titling, and trailer license plate laws are so lucky. Sometimes different in various areas of the same state. Lots of times if you look at the actual written regulations (which can be hard to find) the rules do include beachcats, and that's all the local DMV can tell you, if they will tell you anything at all.
I've heard all different things about Florida because it's a large state with many jurisdictions. I've personally never heard of a beachcat being stopped for registration either on the water or the road in Florida, has anyone been hassled over this?
The times I can see this coming up would be if you were buying a beach pass from a local authority, then they might want your registration numbers on the paperwork, but I'm just guessing. We have lots of Florida folks here.
I just don't want anyone claiming "They said on TheBeachcats.com I could ignore those laws!". :teacher:[/quote]
