YES.... BUT did you pay 6% sales tax already in Mass? If not, get ready
to pay the balance (or all 6%) to the state of Florida. Most part
timers try to register in a state that has no boat sales tax BUT, that
only allows you a few months a year of Florida boating. If you bought
it here, you only have a couple weeks to get out of Florida or you pay the
6% tax.

We love your money... bring it on down so we can keep our state income tax
free

Can someone whose full time residence is in MA register a boat in
Florida?

I know I can get the info tomorrow from the State but the sale of a
friends boat hinges on the answer to above.

Thanks for any info.


I'm a full time Virginia resident but have my boat registered in
Maryland.
Here it depends on where the boat is kept. Have you checked with the
Florida folks?

The boat will be purchased in Florida and will remain in Florida full time.
It's just that MA is the buyer's legal residence and spends several months
in Florida.
