There is something about this I'm not getting through my thick skull.

For example: If I purchase a boat in CT, pay the sales tax, etc.,
register it and the trailer in CT and spend the summer in SC, how does
the state of SC have the right to "tax" me, based on the value of my
boat, for staying in the state?
They can do anything they want. When I travel through the NE, I get taxed all the time on their toll roads.

I understand and to me that's a fair tax.

In NYC, you get taxed just for having a job in the city. So you pay two income taxes.
