In my opinion anyone buying a new power or sail boat should be given a "on the water" get aquainted test drive with their new boat. This would include handling as well as operation of all onboard systems.
It will probably never happen but it would be nice.

AMEN! Absolutely correct.
The sales people taking buyer's funds, and here 's the keys saying go for it, should be reprimanded. Or better yet outlawed.
Boat tax portion of registration: I think you will find that when registrations are mailed to state NO money reverts to town. When registrations are processed at a marina or town clerk, a large portion of the tax stays in that town.
