Here in Florida, we have a 'Sales & Use' tax.

If you Sell something to someone here, you have to collect sales tax.

If you use something here and didn't pay 'Sales' tax, you still have to pay, it's just called 'Use Tax'

I bought my Dinghy over the web and no sales tax.
Registered the Dinghy, and, like the good guy I am , I paid the Sales Tax at Registration.

So my Dinghy Registration (with engine) cost over $200. Can you imagine how much it would have been to register that 7mil boat here!

If he bought the boat in RI (which he did), and will use it in MA (I expect it to be in MV and/or Nantucket), then he's presumably subject to MA's use tax when tax time comes around, pure and simple. Not much chance of him avoiding that...

"Did you purchase articles in another state where you paid no sales tax, or paid at a lower rate?"

"You <i>know</i> I did."

Actually, as long as he doesn't go to MV for 6 months or so, they will probably drop it. Taxes are inevitable. Floreeda of some other state can lay claim too... It's just harder as time goes on, BUT if you can't prove you paid it once, you may be required to pay it. That is why all of the Deleware boats thing sorta stopped..
