Ahoy, I live in Washington state and am thinking about my first "real"
boat- a blue water cruiser in the $30k-$120k. When I buy a car I pay
something like 8% or if it's a gift or a damaged vehicle or you phoney
up the bill of sale you still pay some arbitrary made up blue book
value the state institutes and which is not insignificant. On a $100k
boat this is $8000. Something tells me rich people don't pay this. So
what's the scam? Foreign registry or forming your own corporation or
what? Sorry to be so clueless. Thanks for your time.

Ya, you Washingtonians are always bragging about your no personal
income tax then turn around and whine bout all the other taxes ie
$2000 to register your new car every year! Down here in Oregon, land
of the NO sales tax, I was paying bout $35 every two years for my
state boat registry. It went up bout when Bush got in office. Now I
pay bout $125every two years.

I bought my boat in Port Townsend, WA. then brought it down to Oregon.
No Wasington Sales Tax if left the state with in ?? days.

I have a nice little room to rent down here if ya want to be an
Oregonian? BUt yad have to get a OR drivers licence to make your
citizenship all leagal. But then yould have to pay Oregon State
Personal income tax along with the IRS Fed cut too.
Living in Oregaon It not a bad deal if your poor and live on mega
yacht...........

Looks like a lot of people here ought to become Libertarians, or at
least Republicans. In this great country we can change the laws. We
don't need to break them.

Establish a permanent residence in a non tax state.

Nevada and Wyoming come to mind.

Nope... It's called a sales and USE tax for a reason... if you use your
boat in a state that has a sales tax btu you bought it in one without OR
with a smaller one.. most have the ablility to tax you on the diff.

Florida is the worst... if you come to a boat show, you have 2 weeks
after the last work is done to get her out of FL. If you move here
from SC you pay the full tax...

Don't think the boat will ever get to Nevada or Wyoming.

Are you sure? I bought a boat in Florida and I had 90 days to get her
shipped before sales tax was going to be charged..

No experience, but I've read on a boat forum (Carolina Skiff) that if
you have the seller invoice the outboard motor separately, when you
drag it all down to Florida you only pay tax on the boat, and maybe
the trailer. With some of the outboards costing 10k plus, that saves
a chunk of change.

If you are a democrat and want to pay more taxes then you are in the
right party for your beliefs.
