I'm wondering how much it cost to register a small john boat in KY. The boat is just shy of 16 ft.

Do you have to register the boat every year? How much tax to you have to pay on this kind of boat?

Yes if it has a motor or trolling motor on it taxes depends on what year it is my taxes and tags are about $28 a year tell them you have a trolling motor on it so you don't pay taxes on the motor too.

My 94 listed with a TM only is about $23 per year total. $15 is the reg fee and the rest is taxes. Taxes are about $1.22 per 100 of value. At one time there was a $500 minimum value. I suspect there still is.

Yes you pay every year. After the first year if you do it timely you can renew by mail by paying $2 extra. In metro areas you can't park for 2 bucks.
