That seems a bit steep, I think they valued the package at apox. $65,000.
My advice, hire (if you don't already have one) a good CPA.

You have to pay sales tax and registration fees at the declared value of the boat. You also have to pay income tax on the winnings at a rate of 25% of declared value. The income tax alone is more than $16k. There is some offset on the income tax for sales tax but I'm not sure how that works out. By my estimate you will have to pay about 30% of the value of the boat for sales and income tax, title and registration.

I still bought 2 tickets.
