Hope I'm not leading you astray amigo!
That's what I thought until I read this in the link...


Use tax and surtax will become due when you title and/or register the boat in Florida. Florida titling and/or registration must occur:

Within 30 days after purchase.

Within 90 days after the boat enters Florida, if the boat is documented, titled, and/or registered in another state.

A boat that remains in Florida for more than 90 consecutive days or more than 183 days in a one-year period is taxable, unless it qualifies for another exemption.

To me...even though I paid 7% in NJ...the last para get us all....
