What time does check in end or what time does everyone usually launch. I know check in begins at 5:30pm. I get off work at 5pm and have about a 45min drive. Trying to determine if i can make it. I know in the past some tournaments take some time due to the lake getting all of the day boaters off.

Re: I need assistance concerning Boat/Vessel Tax!

The tax is 1% of the value of the boat. Then you have to add in your voted indebtedness which varies by counties such as schools, water district etc. The valule does depreciate so you can expect it to decresase over time. It is pretty much identical to your homeowners tax bill.
