Thanks for the update on GA, Glenn.

California does much the same thing, but they want to see that you
paid sales tax on the materials. I brought in over 100 receipts, but
had them taped to sheets of paper in descending value; the top three
sheets of paper had 80% of the cost of the materials, so they just
glanced at that and then signed off on it.

In Georgia you fill out the standard registration form and write "Home
Built" in the HIN field. The state will assign a HIN with the
registration. You also have to provide "invoices for materials". As my
invoices fill an entier filing drawer I called for clarification. What
they need is enough invoices to prove that it is new construction and
not a rehab. On larger projects they actually come out to inspect and
affix the HINs.

Once again, I'm looking to expand the FAQ I have on my website on
registering your home built boat. So far, I have information on the
following states:

AL, AZ, CA, FL, LA, PA, TN, TX and VA

Anyone with experience in other states who would like to share, please
respond here in rec.boats.building (so everyone can benefit) and let
me know that I can quote you on my site.

The FAQ is at http://www.messing-about.com/weekend...ister_faq.html

I'm also looking for scantlings (dimensions) I can use for an article
on home built oars. I have scantlings from Wooden Boat Magazine, but
I'm hesitant to use them for fear of copyright violation (I should
probably ask them ... they may not mind.) In any case, the article on
oars is at http://www.messing-about.com/articles/oars.html
