[C320-list] Update on boat purchase

[Brad Kuether]

I am less than a month from getting "Independence" a 2004 Catalina, and bringing her home to Middle River parked one boat over from Wal de Mar.

I have a surveyor lined up, the broker has been GREAT (Sail Place in Chicago), and almost everything is set, even the financing!

Right now the only open switch is the taxes.  I assumed that I would just pay the state where the boat was located "to" but this appears to not be the case.

>From the Maryland DNR page, it appears that I pay taxes in Illinois, and get a "credit".  I would think Maryland would want those taxes, Illinois got them already on the initial purchase!

Here are the two pages:

Anyone move a boat to Maryland from another state?  Curious to understand the tax implications.  I am NOT paying both states!

Thanks in advance for any insight.
