YES you will be required to change registration numbers to Florida numbers.

Not sure legally, but had a friend that did not until his current Wisconsin registration expired. But he never got stopped for anything either. Might be a task explaining resident fishing liscense, resident drivers liscense and out of state registration on boat. Might want to shoot an e mail to fwc on it. Find Answers

Flycaster beat me to the punch with a better answer

Do make sure and check on that statement of some additional fees may apply. I know at 1 time there was impact fees that were crazy for people moving from out of state and registering vehicles. When and where ya moving to down here? Hope to see ya on the water sometime.

Near Bradington. The town is called Ellenton going to retire there a place called Colony Cove 301 goes thru it just off 75 Gotta get my house sold in Indiana first. I shootn for first part of July. Then I have to learn how to catch some Specks and brim.

You will be learning more than that. Your moving close to some epic saltwater fishing.

Thanks just have been hearing Specks fish a little different south.
