Florida Antique Boat Registration

  
Here is a little known fact that many Florida boat owners may not know. According to Florida State Statute 328.72 (2)(a), "A vessel that is at least 30 years old, used only for recreational purposes, and powered by the vessel’s original-type power plant may be registered as an antique vessel. When applying for registration as an antique vessel, the owner of such a vessel shall submit certification, as prescribed by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles or from a marine surveyor that the vessel meets the requirements of this paragraph." This means if your boat qualifies under this statute, then your vessel will become exempt from annual state registration fees. The link for more information is on the left.
