I didn't say you don't pay sales tax. I said you avoid paying sales tax. I said,

"So little $ sales taxes on a tax to day basis are okay to avoid, but big $ sales taxes on a yacht are not?"

And I was referring to where you said,

i shop a lot in lousiana. lower taxes, lower gas prices...the lower sales tax, especially on groceries, makes the trip worthwhile. plus, i live in a dry county, so i buy my adult beverages down there as well. how much does that cost arkansas each year? probably plenty. but, all my vehicles are registered in this state. i've seriously considered moving over the border to LA. now that the kids are all grown, and no worry about schools, i may just do that.

So keeping a yacht to another state to avoid a higher home state sales tax, and pay a lower sales tax, is not okay.

But shopping in another state to avoid a higher home state sales tax, and pay a lower sales tax, is okay.
