If one is cruising is it necessary to register or document our boat. We will not own a home any longer and probably use parents home in FL. as mailing address. Assuming we don't have to how long can we stay in one port before we would be required to register. Now here's the twist my wife is a US citizen but I am an Australian citizen with permanent residency in the US - I know this precludes me from owning a documented boat - last time we had to document for financing reasons the boat was titled in my wife's name only. Also how do you avoid paying sales tax on a boat purchase? Are there certain states that charge and others that don't? I know Oregon doesn't which is where I have been registering my trailer boats for the past 15yrs.
