Bringing a Canadian made C&C back the across the border requires the
requisite tax...federal and provincial.
My boat came from Racine, Wisconsin....the trucker I hired to go get it
would only do it if I hired a 'border broker'.....when the trucker
reached the Canadian border, the border broker handled all the red tape
and paid the taxes. no hassles or problems for anyone especially the
trucker....border broker cost $130....well worth it.

Here in BC, there is a 12% PST on boats, unless purchased from a GST
registrant (dealer), in which case it is 7% PST. Paying GST at the
border will qualify you for the lower 7% rate, see below. In any case,
it seems doubtful that there would be any concession for re-patriating
a boat to BC based on these ridiculous tax laws. About the only way to
reduce tax that I've ready about is to list items not normally
attached to the boat separately, with item values, on a bill of sale.
This means dinghy, outboard, BBQ, etc.
