I just boat a canoe and plan to use it without any motor for trout fishing up north. Do I have to register it? The guy I bought it from did not have any boat registration for it and told me that if you do not put a motor on it, no registration is needed. Is this true??

I have a 17 ft Coleman canoe,when I tried to reregister it a couple of years ago they sent my form and check back saying that since it was a canoe and not motorized it does not need to be registered anymore, I do use an electric trolling motor on it but have never been stopped. hope this helps.

If a motor of any type is put on a row boat or canoe it needs to be registered. no motor no numbers
