Boats & Boating (Cars & Transportation)

Ok, I will just shoot off a few questions. Please excuse my ignorance, I know very little about boats but I was walking around the Marina Del Rey area this weekend and began getting curious.

I will assume you need to register the boat, but is it more difficult if say you buy a 400' retired cruise liner and don't plan to use it commercially?

If you use a large boat such as this as your residence do you have to pay real estate tax on it.

If you plan to captain the boat yourself do you need a license to operate it.

If you own a really large boat, say 200' or longer where do you dock it at? Are there special facilities for private owners of oversized watercraft?

If you use your boat to cruise to other countries, how easy is it to find a port where you can dock? Do most countries offer this sort of thing for travelers?

I would appreciate any information you can provide for me.

I need Boaters opinions! I may buy a boat but need help?

Okay, I don't know that much about boats, but I found a '79 Larson bowrider, 17', 120 HP Merc I/O...looks good. It is said to run great. Comes on a trailer. There is an obvious repair to the lower hull - looks like a very good repair, but wasn't repainted. The floor deck needs replaced, it sat uncovered for a long time.

I know enough (construction, mechanics) to replace the floor myself, and be able to do any mechanical maintenance/repairs myself (probably)...

They only want $600...seems like a great deal to me, but...

I did search here for similar questions, and found some, but none specific to my situation.

What else should I look for, and do I bother them to take me out in it when they're asking so little for it?
