Maine tax questions for Tom or Nat or ...

No taxes will be collected when we close on Gorgeous Girl next Wednesday. I searched the web for info about boat taxes and fees in Maine but could only find instructions for registered boats, along with the statement that documented boats are exempt. I assume I'm expected to pay sales tax (6%?) to someone in Augusta, but who? And when? And are there annual excise/use fees, ones that I probably owed on our documented Cape Dory last year but didn't pay? Why is Maine so inept at providing this kind of information? Ignore that last question.
