I believe this is simpler than you folks are making it, although it certainly is a PITA.


<<<Section 319.23(3)(a)(2)(c), Florida Statutes, reads: “If the vehicle is an ancient or antique vehicle as defined in s. 320.086, F.S.,



Nice try, Jack. However, your citings are from Title XXIII about motor vehicles and do not apply to vessels (Title XXIV). I could find nothing in XXIV about antique vessels.

Since Andrew's boat is a '95 or maybe '98 it would be hard to call it antique, anyway.
Personally, I'm a '53 and don't think of myself as antique (but my kids do).
