I live in VA but my boat is owned by a corp in the state of Delaware. (I own that corp) It's all on paper, but the boat is subject to Del law not VA. Del has no sales tax or personal property tax. Even a 40k boat saves money this way in VA. Just pay a small amount to maintain the corp each year.

That is all fine but if you leave that boat in NJ or Maryland for for 90 days at a marina you are going to pay the state tax!
Each state has people going around checking on these things.
This is big money for them and they are going to collect it.
It is almost impossible to get around paying the tax.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.....Va isn't that bad, but they do some checking. We keep our boat at our private dock, or on the trailer behind the house. So far....Problem solved.

Not unless you get some sort of fuel receipt from Delaware. Been there, done that and it does work.

Friend of mine just nailed for the same thing. got notification that he owed for a boat that he traded in 2 years ago. They are getting smarter about this stuff.
