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.

The State of Florda's Department of Revenue has a website that states
*if* your friend paid tax in MD he or she would get a credit for that
tax in FLA.
If your friend paid a full Florida tax of 6%, perhaps there was no tax
paid when the vehicle was purchased in MD.
