    IMPORTANT Change to PA Boat Registration

    Finally the State of Pennsylvania passed some common sense legislation.

    Boat Registration will now run from January 1 to December 31.

    As you know the prior Registration would end in March.

    So how does this benefit us over the old way?

    I looked it up and to be honest, I don't see where the confusion comes from? Are we that stupid of a society that we can't figure it out when the registration expired? Yes, apparently so!

    Well ..............

    More than you think. People never read the little writing under the large bold year date that said expires on March 31. They just assumed it expired at the end of the year.

    To me I always renewed on time. Those that were confused will save a little money and embarrassment.

    Personally I like the change, it just makes sense.

    In my 30 years of boating I've never met anyone who assumed the registration ran out at the end of the year. I know people have become lazy but WOW.

    I actually think this is a stupid idea.

    Although some of us fish throughout the winter, most boaters are not on the water before the end of March. Best to renew the registration when you are ready to use the boat.
