| My cursory reading of the Florida rules says:
1) A vessel with any type of motor must be registered.
2) Florida recognizes out-of-state registrations for 90 days.
Depending on where you go in Florida, expect strict
enforcement. In South Florida, the local police, the county
sheriff, the Florida marine patrol and the coast guard are
all out helping you 'have a nice day'.

| Fla's reciprocal with everyone.
I'd call Fla before you head down there, get the SN# and info from
the boat your buying, register it in VT, buy the numbers, and when you
pick it up, slap the decals on it. I've never heard of a temporary
boat registration.
Hmmm, a submersable... be tough for them to catch for a no wake
viloation in that!

Vermont has Boat Dealer registration which is just like
new car dealer / used car dealer / trailer dealer plates
though I've never seen anyone with a boat dealer tag, it may
simply be a piece of paper rather than a plate ... we'll
find out soon I hope.
Can't register the new boat in Vermont unless we own it
(signed bill of sale or title) at which time you get to pay 5%
sales/use tax. The unit won't transfer until we receive training
and pay the last bit. I don't want to make final payment until we
do the final acceptance, and I'm sure the dealer won't like signing
paperwork w/o the money (though he might, I would be scared if he did).
He already sent us signed papers for the trailer though.
Thanks to Lee listing the phone # in .1 I can easily get the
"official" answer and a name of the person who gives me the answer
so I can blame someone else for bogus information.
The mfg is in Texas, we picked Fla because the NE is kinda
unsettled this time of year and we need to do a block of
water time to get formal training which is how to properly bump
into things you didn't see I expect ...
Gonna be the first time I've ever hoped I was in a boat that
DIDN'T float ;-)

| Hey, Ed! Don't forget all of us back in NE who want a ride in that
"boat" once you get it into the water....

You might want to ask the same question in the FLORIDA notes
conference. TALLIS::FLORIDA There seems to be lots of very helpful
people there that might even go out of their way to find out what kind of
mess you're looking at.

Very interesting, you can't register it until you own it, but you can't
own it until you drive it and you can't drive it until you register it...

Out of state registered boat owner :
You may operate in Vermont for a period of 90 consecutive days
if your home state grants like privileges to Vermont boaters.

registered in via the bow tags since that's visible id)
