That is not how the Florida law is written.

If it *can* go no more than 20mph then it can be considered a golf cart and requires no registration.
If it *can* go no more than 25mph then it can be considered a low speed vehicle (LSV) and does require registration.
If it *does* go 27mph then it is neither a golf cart nor an LSV. I don't know what Florida would consider it to be but it would certainly require registration if it was allowed on the roads at all.

Perhaps the 27mph vehicle *is* registered
Perhaps the 27mph vehicle was operated *only* on private property and not on the MMPs (since it would require operation on public roads to get to the MMPs)
Perhaps the 27mph was an exaggeration
In any case, being careful is a good idea.
