I personally would have a big problem giving money to a state that is so
cruiser unfriendly as is Florida.
I bought our boat in Florida and got it out of the state within the
proscribed time and thus avoided the FL sales tax. I am a North Carolina
resident and as such do not have to pay sales tax on a boat purchased from
a private seller (this includes one using a broker). .
So-- If I were in your boat, I would - Form a LLC and sell the boat to
myself and family - establish North Carolina as my legal residence and
make some boat improvements with my money instead of giving it to the thieves.
