It depends on the state. In California, if a boat is USCG-documented, it needn't be licensed in the state, but would still be liable for user/sales tax and property taxes. Other states differ.

Google the USCG documentation site, download the form, complete it and send it and some money to get it done. My builder provided necessary boat measurements for completing the form.
