Buying in Another State - Title, Registration, Taxes - Page 3

Here's the situation.

Boat is currently on the hard in FL, titled in FL, register in NH, and hailing port on the document is CO (just in case that matters), previous owners...or soon to be reside in CO.

I'm moving it to NJ, registering in NJ, and new hailing port will be in NJ.

Will the title need to be transferred to NJ? If so, how? If not, any benefit to doing it anyway?
Do I have to pay taxes to NJ or to FL?
Previous owner seems to think I'll need a FL cruising permit. Is this true? From what I understand, out of state vessels may remain in FL waters for up to 90 consecutive days, but a permit isn't required?
Will a bill of sale be sufficient to register the ding? It's a zodiac, so it doesn't have a title.
