Thank you for that. I hadn't factored in State Tax on a purchase so it was
of interest to me for sure.

There is a little known fact regarding Florida sales tax that may be
of interest. If you buy from a certified non-profit organization, a
donated boat for example, there is no sales tax due on the
transaction. This can lead to some creative possibilities in the
negotiation process where everybody wins.
