Thats 60 days consecutive,once they catch you the first time. So if i
get
stopped tomorrow,i have until july ot get an OH number. I want to use
the
boat here until october when the season ends.

Unless you are leaving it in a marina, if you ever do get stopped, unless
you admit to being there for the summer, I doubt they will even raise an
eyebrow. What part of Ohio will you be in?

The problem is I have called the Ohio DMV,DNR,title offices. I get a
different answer each time I call them. No one seems to know what to
do,some
told me i cant use my boat here even. Without anyone knowing what to
do
i am
afraid to put the boat on the water for fear of getting it taken
away
if
they pull me over or something.

I live in Georgia but will be in Ohio for 5 months and want to use
my
boat
there. Ohio tells me i need an ohio title to get a registration
number,but
i live in georgia,the bill comes for the boat to me in georgia,I
have
it
financed through honda finance when i bought it new. Any ideas? The
title
places in ohio have absolutely no idea what i need to do,one told
me i
need an ohio title for it,another told me an out of state resident
cant
have an ohio title. They are complete morons it seems in this area.
Thanks for any info you ucan provide.


I boat on Lake Erie and live in Ohio.

If the State of Ohio Department of Motor Vehicles cannot help you
out
with
a straight answer I would just run with your existing registration.
If
stopped just have the registration paper available and tell them
you
are
only here for the week.

We see plenty of boats with out of state registration numbers here
on
Lake
Erie. I don't know why the CG or local police would single you out
just
because you showed a GA registration on your boat.

If you want I can call the DMV and Cleveland office of the USCG for
you
tomorrow to get a straight answer. Just let me know if you want me
to.

Ohio registration is not required if you USE you boat less than 60
days.

If you are ever stopped, I would just tell them that.
