Just a reminder.

Boat Trailer Registrations expired December 31st of last year.

Don't get an unexpected surprise-a ticket upon your return to the boat ramp

Reregister your trailer. You can do it on line via the NY State DMV website

Takes five minutes

I don't have a trailer, but that is a good and timely reminder. It also reminds me to renew my saltwater registry which is coming due soon. Thank you.

One of my friends received a $125 ticket when he returned to the Port Jeff Boat Ramp a few years ago

He forgot to register his trailer.

That is why I always post a reminder

I go a ticket many years ago too. Its an easy ticket to write. Nobody to argue with you. Just and empty trailer and truck.
But can't complain too much as keeping your registration currect is a requirement.

Every year I renew the boat trailer when the papers from the DMV come in Dec. What is the advantage waiting till spring?

It's cheaper the later you register.

Yearly up here, and really inexpensive, $24 for 2 years. My registration goes for 12 months, not per calendar year...

Dominick I have a one axle trailer. $60 for the year and I did not pay for Jan, Feb or March

NY State is very expensive for boat trailer registrations

My old trailer was registered in Maine, 5 years was less than $100

Yes but you have to go in person to do that no?
