Woodrat, don't know if you can do it with boats but I do exactly what you said with farm use gasoline, get the tax back at the end of the year.
In Montana, and in Wash when I used to farm there, the requirement was an up to minute accurate logbook that states where the fuel was used open to inspection at any time, all your receipts from station gas or a meter on your farm tank with log.

I'm only 40 min. from the ocean. All the diesel boats run #2 fuel oil. That's what they sell at the port. I'm not sure about the gasoline, but it seems to me the prices were much higher at the port on the gasoline than the gas stations on the road.

That's a function of supply and demand. A marina has you over a barrel - buy their fuel or do without. With no competition, they can set their prices wherever they want.

Yeah, marina prices aren't very reflective of the usual market prices.

I didn't realize DPS could swab your tailpipe and detect red dye residue.

In a boat-busy summer, I put hundreds of dollars of pump gas, tax and all, into my boat and I don't do much whining about how unfair it is that i am paying road tax for my boat fuel.

i find the whole riff about how evil tax dodgers are to be pretty tiresome, as you can tell. There never seems to be a shortage of money to be constantly tearing up and reconstructing road surfaces and running huge widening projects everywhere.

Rant over, carry on!
I love you man

Never really thought about all the taxed gasoline I have purchased over the years that never made to a public road. Just remember, PROPANE IS NOT TAXED for road use.

between my portable sawmill, chainsaws, generators, portable compressor, off road truck use and all the boats, I have paid a LOT of road tax on gas that was never burned on the road.

I'm actually thinking of keeping all the boat gas receipts this year and trying to get the road tax back.
