One problem with registration is that other states may complain if you're not
registered in their state. The Federal law requires 60 days "grace" for passing
through, but after that a state may require local registration. I think Florida
gives you 90 days, but after that they get picky. Each state has different laws
about sales tax, use tax, excise tax, property tax, so make sure you keep all
the paperwork to prove what's been paid so far.

Hello,

from a previous thread, I understood that there is a difference between
documenting a boat (which is
only possible for US citizens) and registering a boat (in any state).
I have the following questions regarding registration:
- is one allowed to sail a registered (not documented) boat in US waters?
- is registration available for non-US citizens?
- where should I turn to in Georgia to register a boat (that is currently
lying in Georgia)?
- what paperwork should I produce to get a boat registered?

Tnx,
Frank
