16. Can I sell a boat, motor and trailer to a person that is not a resident of this state and use the Affidavit for Immediate Removal of a Watercraft?

The sale of a watercraft (and the motor if sold as a package) may be sold tax exempt as long as the purchaser and the seller complete an Affidavit of Exemption for Immediate Removal for a Watercraft Sold to a Legal Resident of Another State.

There is no immediate removal exemption for a trailer. Sales tax would be due on the retail selling price of the trailer, even if sold as a package with the boat and/or motor.
