I can't be sure about those states but will say in general, my experience buying out of state no sales tax collected until the boat or vehicle returned to my home state (NY) and was regustered.
Above is exactly what happened w Documented boat bought in TX via private sale. I applied for Doc name & owner change and had to register in NY to get the reg decal but they do not issue NY Reg #s... they do collect sales tax.
I had to have a Bill of Sale and Title (signed over Fed Doc form)
Advantage... already mentioned- more secure, may be reqd for loan. No need to display state reg #s on hull
Disadvantage... takes time and more paperwork + more $, need to add Doc # placard if not already documented and in place... usually in Eng Rm.
