One other thing. If you find that Florida exempts boats that were kept outside of Florida for six months, then document that fact. Keep dated marina receipts, credit card statements and any other written proof of the boat''s location during the preceding six months. Ask your marina manager to provide a notarized statement of the date when your boat arrived and left his marina. Even if your boat is exempt, you''ll probably have to pay the tax if you can''t prove that you''re entitled to the exemption.
