A really, really, sexy blue gator trax from Louisiana. I was asked to pay the extra, "special rate". They thought I came from the land of dueling banjos....
Negative ghostrider!

Be sure and research all the fees associated with registering now a days. I bought a $950 flat bottom with 10 hp motor and trailer. Cost me over $247 in tax and fees. Tax was $57.00 rest was trailer tags and TP&W fees.

Geesh I was hoping it would be lower than that.
That seems like a crazy amount... I know it is 6% tax on whatever the purchase price was. Fees are a little more but I didn't think they were that much. They WILL get you if you wait longer than 20 days or however long their cut off deadline is. Have to transfer it quickly.
