If it's purchased out of state from a PRIVATE seller, you won't have to pay taxes but you'll still need to go to your local tax office and get a waiver of taxes in order to register it with DOT.

If it's in state you pay taxes on it at the point of registering it.

Most people do this in order to save a few $$$'s on taxes. Just don't devalue it so much as to draw unwanted attention from the "wonderful" people at the DMV.

Bill of sale on each is always best, and a title on the trailer of course. Also the old registration on the boat, if it had a motor and was reg.

No. Someone at the office told my brother to do all of that so he did. I told him he didnt need to and about a month later when I purchased mine from FL I didnt do it. Got it titled with no prob.
