BOAT
Began 1949. LEGENDS: "M" 1949-57, "BOAT" 1958-72.
A. Ch. 203 P 3/14/1949, requiring all boats with inboard motors
to be licensed with plates. Plates were only issued in
counties with navigable waterways. Since the majority of
privately-owned boats had outboard motors, which were taxed as
personal property by county assessors, very few boat plates
were issued in 1949-56. Design identical to motorcycle plates
but with different colors, in this case the "M" standing for
"Motorboat". The 1949 tab number matched the plate number.
B. Ch. 199 P 3/13/1957, expanding boat registration to all
motorboats, including those with outboard motors and even
sailboats, resulting in a huge increase in plates issued, now
in all 44 counties. Passenger colors 1958-68.
