Twig, as you can see everyone here is very open to the way that washington state uses and abuses us with the represive taxes that they have. I am originally from N.Y., and i thought the taxes there were bad, not even close. Bought a boat that needed alot of work, and they tried to charge me the blue book price , untill i showed them a picture of it, then they charged me only what i paid, it was in rough shape when i bought it......Good luck. Sell it to a relative, or REALLY good friend in oregan, then just use it up here.......
