I have bought 2 boats under this. In both cases I was required to send back to Tallahassee copies of marina and fuel bills with the boat documentation number on them proving I had left the state in a timely fashion. They also notified my home state of the purchase. I always complied completely. I have no idea what would have happened if I didn't, but would face a very stiff penalty if caught.
