Thanks me and AH Foster.
I'll call tomorrow.
I'm recollecting my trip of four years ago; I believe I was in FL in excess
of 30 days w/o having to register, and I think I would have been certain
that I need not.
I'll find out for sure tomorrow.

Absent repairs being made, then 90 days is correct ?

Here's were you can get the definitive answer:
http://sun6.dms.state.fl.us/dor/businesses/

There are two contacts who will have the answer about any tax issues WRT
boats:

, , Jimmy Kalfas, the
"resolution" guy, and Charles Martin, the "enforcement" guy (Jimmy used to
have his job).



Drop them a line; they're unfailingly helpful and courteous...

Thanks.
I believe I have the right info now.
I did contact the FL yesterday, and sfter the first guy looked it up and
came back with 20 days maximum ( not including time in a repair facility), I
called back again and this time was told what Rosalie has reported. If it is
an out of state boat, you only need to register if the boat remains longer
than 90 days. And to register means only that, something like $80 state fee,
and possibly a similar local fee. No sales tax.
