The state is pretty shortsighted in this instance in my opinion. They may get $120 More per boat but they will lose all the tax revenue and hurt businesses that depend on people coming from out of state for motels restaurants grocery stores and gas stations. Most people that I know that come from Utah come up twice a year sometimes three times for several days. A $10 raise in the sticker price would not be bad but once you hit something over $50 you will really limit how often people bring boats up here and spend money. I would not go to Utah yearly and take a boat if I had to pay over $50 for a sticker and the out-of-state license, That would be $100 for three days plus the fuel at more than $3.50 a gallon, so a tank each way.
