Hello everyone , my first post on this site.
I am a Australian in
Florida at the moment (Feb 2019 ) , and I have put a offer on a 30ft
Hunter sail
boat .
My intentions are to take it to the
Bahamas until late May 2019 then store it
on the hard either in the
Bahamas , or back in
Florida for
hurricane season.
I will be paying around $25000 USD for the yacht. I plan to sell it again one day(2-3 years time ) in the
USA or
Caribbean.
My question is where should I register it , if I register it in Florida I will pay the 6% sales tax , not a big deal I guess , or should I register it in
Australia ?
Will there be any problems sailing a
USA registered yacht as a Australian?
Thanks for any replies , I realise this question has probably been asked before , I have been searching the
forums , any information would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Brian
