There is a guy there that routinely hassles transiting boaters with no

Did you have out of state ID? If you dropped a Florida DL on him I can
see his point.
In the end all of this licensing and registration is about tax money.

It's too bad that states enforce their tax and registration laws so
arbitrarily.

Hey, look at it this way - it could be CT where you have to pay "usuage"
tax - whoops, I meant fee - if your boat is registered out of state and
it's in a marina here in CT.

CT also is a non-title state for boats. Which basically means that you
can steal a boat in another state, bring it here, register it and take
it to another title state to sell it. Pretty neat huh?
