Nitrousbird Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 LJ asked me this, I haven't found the answer online, and need to know for my Malibu as well (which doesn't expire until 2014). I never had my Sea Ray checked in the 11 years I've had it, so I'm not really worried about rocking it illegal, as the sticker is current. I recall the last time I renewed the Sea Ray, I was able to do it at the BMV near Andersons in Reynoldsburg (just had to pay cash, no checks/CC for some reason). Looking online, it looks like only a few places do boat registrations now - around here either the headquarters for Ohio in 43229 and a place near Alum on S Old State. I know a bunch of folks recently bought boats, so I figured someone would have some insight on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna tell you what i found when I saw you in a little bit, but I found this when looking around Cost to Transfer Registration to Another Owner: $5 For unexpired registrations only. So I assume yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormulaMatt Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 That is correct. $5 to transfer. Take your title to the new boat and the old registration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Typically its not something that is check upon. So you could wait until it expires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Typically its not something that is check upon. So you could wait until it expires. I figured this much. But since it is only $5 and near where I work to do it, I'll just make her legal. Looks like LJ will be doing the same with his new boat.

Nitrousbird Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Did the transfer today. After dealing with the idiot broad at the BMV who didn't know how to do a simple plate registration transfer ($9.50 and 15 minutes with me having every bit of paperwork you could ask for), I got to take the trip to the Dept. of Watercraft. After a security check in (seriously, for a boat registration), it was a fairly in-depth form, title, and drivers license for getting that cared for - and $5.
