Im not sure that its all new.

i bought a boat from florida and had to pay tax on it in Louisiana.
(That was in 2008)




Are you saying that if you buy a boat thats already in Louisiana you have to pay sales tax on the purchase?

If so, thats complete BS

Tax on the boat itself or on the trailer? Used to you paid tax on the value of the trailer in order to get a license tag, and paid a registration fee to LDWF to get boat numbers.

All I can say is there will be some cheap boats sold from here on out.

Maybe I'm looking at this wrong, but other movables such as cars are taxed on each sale. New or used. I don't see why boats would be exempt?
