The coast guard doesn't collect the taxes; just the documentation change fee and any fees involved in registering the lien if there is a mortgage on the boat. The documentation change fee used to be $90, but I seem to recall it was going up to something like $125.
If the sale is through a broker, the broker should collect the sales tax. If between individuals, ask your state DMV or DNR (whomever would issue a title for the boat if one is needed) and they can tell you about the "use tax" for a private sale.

In otherwords both seller and buyer reside in Massachusetts? What are the sales tax requirements? the coastguard site does not seem to mention sales tax in the instructions I found on line. http://www.uscg.mil/nvdc/instr/inst%20exchange.pdf Any insights would be greatly appreciated!!
