Maine State Law Helps out Non-residents and Maine Marine Businesses
Maine’s Governor recently signed into state law a reduction in the amount of tax non-residents will be liable to pay on boats purchased in Maine.

Professional Grade…For the Family
I love how versatile the platform of a RIB is. It can be configured to be the ideal boat for just about any mission or activity. With options such as a t-top with rocket launchers, casting platform and standard reinforced tow eye, a RIBCRAFT is an ideal boat for the family to spend time together participating in their favorite on-water activity. Parents like the piece of mind that comes from knowing they are receiving a boat built to the same standards as a one built for the military, not to mention that the RIB is long regarded as being one of the safest forms of transportation. While children (of all ages) like RIBs for the “cool factor” and the versatility that allows them to be wake boarding one minute and fishing the next.

Transportation Tips
I read a great article recently in Boat U.S. Magazine about online boat transportation services. Although many people have had great success in using them, the article provided some great reminders and tips to keep in mind. •Before doing business with any interstate transportation service provider, ask for a copy of the company’s Operating Authority documentation issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation or comparable state and local documents for intrastate carriers. In addition, TSPs must obtain insurance and drivers must have commercial driver’s licenses, which include testing requirements for drugs and alcohol. Ask for proof of liability and cargo insurance. Reluctance to provide this information is reason enough to look elsewhere. •DOT makes it easy to check up on the status of commercial carriers’ licenses, their insurance data, or their safety ratings. Consumers can visit the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) website, http://li-public.fmsca.dot.gov or call 800-832-5660 or 202-366-9805. •All transportation agreements should be in writing, with complete information... read morePosted by ribcraftusa at 03:21 PM | Comments (0)
