CAll the zoning committee and ask them what the laws are. Don't explain your situation, just ask them the law on parking a trailered boat in the street. If they do not have a law or can site you a specific one, you can go from there.

If they have no law on the bopoks, then put the boat back on the street and tell the cops you spoke to the zoning board, no laws and you don't have to move it.

I would also find some god ways to mess with your neighbor

as long as your following the rules as it not blocking any drive ways, or not to far from teh curb, what you park in front of your house is YOUR business.  If he still complains, then call the town and rent one of those dumps for construction removal.  It is allowed and a bigger eye sore.  I would take this battle head on and make them miserable. Or get a really old beat up car and park it there...  Your best bet is to rent a very large dump for a week or so.. it will drive your neighbors crazy.

My town has a no boat in the street law, from what I understand.

Good Luck Catfish,  sucks having azzholes for neighbors.

Unless things have changed since I have been on the road, State motor vehicle law - any vehicle parked in the street must be moved within 48 hours.  You can park it there but it has to be moved every two days.  Just a slight move will not be considered as complying with the law.  In my town (Rod's also) ordinance says boats, motorhomes, etc are to be alongside/rear of house and I believe behind a sight barrier.

Most cops do not enforce these types of laws/ordinances unless someone complains.
