...All you need is a mailing address as they don't assume you are keeping the boat at your house. You might even be able to use an out of state mailing address. What's important is that you send them money.

Can I register a boat ( which may be purchased in FL) at my Florida address if it is a lot with a street address, but no home built? It has a dock.
They will be sending renewal notices to the address listed on your registration application. If there's no mailbox and/or nobody to check the mail, you're going to have a problem.
For the most accurate advice, I suggest asking the people where you register the boat. DNR or whatever it is called in FL.
When we first registered Hobo in Florida, we were Washington State residents and used our Washington address. When we changed our residency last December to Florida and got our Florida drivers licenses, the DMV automatically changed our address. Along Ted's line, they just want their money.
If in doubt ask the DMV.
What is your impression of FL vs WA? I'm thinking of doing this myself! I'm in Seattle.
I'm not sure I understand your question but here goes. Changing residency/addresses was easy and no real cost. No state income income tax in either state. As far as the weather, population and politics, we'll leave that for another thread.
