USA Registration - Desirable for US Citizen?

Hi All... This has probably been covered before, but I could not find a thread that specifically addressed the Q... I am a USA Citizen, when I buy my CAT, is there any significant advantage to Registration Outside the USA and if so where is best ? Is this even possible for a US Citizen to register the boat in say BVI and live in USA ?

Does a USA registration mean paying the annual property tax in whatever state you register or can you avoid this tax by being out of the country on Jan 1 ?

I guess having a BVI registration creates a huge hassle when crusing around the USA with all the new Home Land Security issues...

So to register in the USA or not ... Pros / Cons... Many THANKS !!!
