Well today I finally regestered the toon so I can use the motor I bought about two months ago. I went to the Ogden DMV and had no problems heres a break down of what I paid if anyone is curious..

local sales tax--3.50
mass transit tax--1.75
state sales tax--16.62
search and rescue--.50
county options tax--.87
registration--11.25
total--34.49

I don't think most people should have to pay the state sales tax if you bought your tube/toon in Utah, I didn't pay any sales tax on mine when I bought it so they got me when I registered it. So plan on about $17.00.

Can someone please tell me why a pontoon craft needs to be registered ?? Also why so much, my 18ft Skeeter with a 175 Merc on it only costs $78.00 to register. $35.00 seems a bit stiff !!!!

Well the simple answer is it generates revenue. Thats it.

Again, if it has a motor, it must be registered. The cost for this is around $20. to $25. (I can remember for sure right now). This is a fixed price for all tubes, canoe, pontoon, and smaller boats I believe. It won't change it is fixed. I think you paid more because it was a first, or the sales tax thing.
If any of you go to register on with a motor, I will find out for sure how much I paid, and it shouldn't be any more than that. New law this year on them.
Therapist, you are paying for the boat and the motor, toon/tubers only pay for motor.

Actually they didnt charge me for the motor just the toon, when I handed her the recipt for the motor she just handed it back to me and said I just need the one for the boat.

What I ment was, you don't have to license a Tube or Toon unless you put a motor on it.
But you are right, when we had our 14 then 16 foot boat, we licensed the boat because the motor was a 25 hrsp. we didn't have to license the motor.
