I think you are right. If you are a legal resident of a state, this case
LA. then you are required to buy a state registration which is little
more than a tax. In Florida, if one lives or even works for three months
one is required to register the boat in Florida even if it's documented.
The only difference is documented boats don't have to display the
registration numbers but they still must pay for a registration and must
display the little registration sticker.

Not in LA. If the boat is documented, Wildlife and Fisheries doesn't
want to have anything to do with it. No tax, no sticker, no nuttin'.
Would be the same if he registered in England, the Bahamas or Canada.
If you document a state registered boat they actually appreciate an
email, mail or phone call so they can delete from the database.

Molesworth, you could state register in LA if you want. I take it you
have a LA driver's license? Don't know why you'd want to, though.
