MA boat taxes...what is the stroy?

What are the boat sales tax and use tax in MA?
Specifically:

Is there a sales tax on used boats?

Is there a personal property tax or some sort of annual use tax on boats in MA?

5%, you have to pay it before you can register your boat.

This is Massachusetts, everything is taxed, over and over and over again. Thank god I don't smoke. $5.75 a pack. YIKES.

unless you commercial fish, then you can write most of it off, ha ha ha.

Welcome to Massachusetts where the sun never shines and bending over and caughing is a way of life. In fact, I think I heard Mass now charges an entertainment tax on even that! Can you say Big Dig?

Of all the problems in 'Lil Rhody, fortunately there is no sales tax on boats ...
