I think cars are 5 days. Are boats the same?

No grace period AFAIK. Not many use their boat to go to work daily. But with that being said, I am fairly certain they aren't going to come out to your storage unit to issue a citation. If the boat is observed out on the water with expired tags I'm betting the registration tag being out of date will be the least of your problems. Like proper safety gear per CG regs.

If you go in to get license plates for a car they will ask you if it has been driven after the plates expired, if you say yes they will collect a fine in addition to the license fee, if no you just pay the fee. I have registered boats that have not been registered for years they just collect the registration fee and hand you the new stickers good for 2 years.

expiration has no effct on renewal - but on the water a GW will ticket you the day after it expires and the ticket is in the 275 dollar range if my memory is accurate.

hmm, I let my tags expire for a year or so on some of my cars/trucks, and motorcycles.. when I do buy a tag , all I am asked is "If I got a ticket ?" I say no , and no fine , just changes the next expiration date to 12 months fowrward .. same price as if I renewed "ontime"

Depends on the GW you run into. Most won't cut you slack.

You can renew on-line And your printout from your on line registration is good until your stickers arrive.

You can renew on-line Yes, on-line renewal is the greatest thing. I've been renewing all my auto registrations on-line for years. They just send it to the house, don't have to go anywhere or wait in line.
