Did he moor it in Rhode Island to avoid Florida boat taxes?

Right mooring state but wrong residence state. At the time of purchase, Kerry was senior US Senator from (and obvious resident of) Massachusetts, a state frequently aliased as Taxachusetts.

It was that state's cost of ownership / taxes that drove the esteemed US Navy Vet to follow the common tax-avoidance strategy of keeping an asset away from the tax assessors & collectors! An amazing act of self-interest by a champion of larger government (driven by larger tax requirements!)

NYT is upset about Rubio’s small boat.
Meanwhile doesn’t have time to cover Capt. “Yellow-Stain” keeping our Ship of State up “Schitt’s Creek”!

That’s a twin engine with a cabin. Its not that small. And its 20% of his after tax money. But I do agree, so far Rubio seems a lot like an upper middle class normal guy. If he weren’t in government jobs, he would be making far more as a lawyer.

It is nice to see a guy who has most of the same problems as the rest of us.

They attack him stupidly as if they are trying to make me like him.

I actually do like him, but not for president, not now. He needs to watch Cruz from his senate seat for a couple of terms, to see how its done. Then we’ll talk.

Just look at the Liberals commenting on the NYT site. My two Comments were being “moderated”, which means they will never see the light of day.

You would think Rubio is a Serial Killer who uses his “Luxury Speedboat” to dump the Bodies of his Victims into the Ocean.

It's a normal size fishing boat with a center console. . NOT a cabin! The cabin is on Kerry's boat. . .jeez!!

The folks at the NYT are clearly ignorant about boats, and a lot of other things. A true luxury boat, even a small one, can easily cost a couple hundred thousand dollars. Rubio bought himself a nice, practical boat in my opinion. Smart choice for family fun.

I don’t care if he bought Sonny Crocket’s fast boat as long as he votes the right way. He does not. That’s my beef with Rubio.

Anyway new, its $81K. I found it online several places. But like my horses, its not the cost of the boat that gets you. Its the cost of the gas, mooring and upkeep that will send you to the poor house.

Are there no boat owners in NY? In Louisiana there are more registered boats than there are residents in the state.
