Hush Dutch, don't mention any additional fees in NY cause Albany never saw a fee they didn't like. Truck, dually is 60 a year plus another 60 for my special plates. Trailer is now $220 a year. Don't even want to think about the 7% sales tax paid at purchase.
Just bought a 14 foot fishing boat, 7% sales tax and another $72 for registration, title fee and surcharge. Nobody knows what the surcharge is supposed to be for.

The special plate fee is your choice of course, but looking at what some other states charge, even with that, we're getting off pretty easy. As I recall, the boat reg surcharge pays for various boating safety programs, including the materials for the boating safety course that children under 18 are required to take to operate a boat, and is also highly recommended for adult operators.
