I was also able to included the sales tax paid. I believe they took which ever was higher, the sales tax or state income tax paid?? In my case the sales tax was higher.

I do know that under a conventional loan the boat does have to qualify and supposidly you have to spend x many number of nights a year on it but who would know.
Check it out for yourself. My 2cents worth.
