Re: Canadian Boat in Florida

Gee Mark. Leave it to you to find a situation that falls straight through the cracks. I didn't see anything in any of the FL regulations that specifically addressed that. Closest I could come is...

Re: Canadian Boat in Florida

Well I don't think you are understanding what I am saying. I keep saying FL registration does not impact CBP and you keep arguing back that CBP does impact FL registration. I have never denied...

Re: Canadian Boat in Florida
