BTW I am not sure how boats work but I know paying taxes in another
state does not change your Florida tax bill. A friend of mine just
moved here from Md and he bought a new car before he left. They titled
it in Md and then transferred title to Florida within a month. They
had to pay full Florida tax on it. They were ****ed. The tax collector
said it would not have made any difference if they had titled it here
directly. If Md still charged the tax they would have to pay both. You
bring a car here, you pay the full tax. I am guessing boats are the
same. Florida has so many newcomers they need to pay for the impact on
resources.

Um....I don't think so.

If there is a difference between states, as in one state charges 5% tax
on a vehicle and the second state charges 6%, then they can charge the
extra 1%.

They can't charge an additional 6% - Federal Tax Code.
