Hate to tell you..
but I just did this two years ago and I had to pay state taxes and parish taxes on the amount that was on the title transfer. Now the guy did give me a break on the amount that he listed on the title so I wouldn't have to pay as much on my taxes here. The boat was legally listed to him as a Florida business or else he wouldn't have been able to sell it to me. As for an individual seller, you may get by with just the trailer on that. Most of the time though you are going to either have to pay state taxes there or here. If you didn't have to go through the registration process there would probably be a lot of non-payment of taxes, but alas, the parish, state, and wildlife and fisheries have their hand out for taxes and fees.
