I read in the paper that the new budget includes doubling boat fees. Doubling the fee made me think that's pretty steep so I pulled out the registration to see if maybe the total fee wasn't doubling.

In case you haven't paid much attention to the registration (like me) there are six amounts on it: Boat Fee, Boat Fee Due, Registration Fee, Registration Fee Due, Total Due DMV, Total Due Agent. The Boat fees are only $1 different and the agent gets $2 over the DMV amount. The difference between the registration fees for me is $11.

So which amount is doubling? One article call the fee a "boat fee" and another calls it a "registration fee". I'm confused and I'm not sure if I should be upset about this. If its only the "Registration Fee" that means I'm out another $17 which I can live with.
