Default buying a boat from another state

I do know that any boat brought into MD will pay a 5% fee/tax.
I don't mean to avoid tax, I just don't want to pay 2 of them.
Reading some old posts, it looks like if I buy from a PA dealer but take
delivery in MD (have them trailer it to me maybe), then I don't pay PA tax.

Can anyone confirm this specifically from PA to another state?

Thanks, David

I purchased my boat in Florida and didn't get taxes until it was

registered
in PA. Call a dealer or boating commission in MD and ask them.

So I should not have to pay PA state tax at time of Sale?

The tax rate is usually determined by the state and county where the

boat
is
registered.

I live in MD (5% sales tax) and may purchase a new boat from a

dealer
in
PA
(6% sales tax).
