This is not a question of do I have to register but rather is it worth it? I recently purchased a canoe from a private seller and would like to legally use a trolling motor that came with it no title no registration on it.
Who has successfully registered a vessel purchased through this method? I have a signed bill of sale with HID but no notary stamp. I called green jeans and they require:
1. notaraized bill of sale.
2. Statement of orign. <-- I think I can get this from the manufacturer.
3. proof of taxes paid. <-- I could get this.
4. if not the original owner the original bill of sale is needed. <-- can't get this.

How many people say F the man and risk it? anyone know of the fee if caught?

It will be a huge bitch.

It all just depends on how much a few hundred bones is worth to you.

You will get a ticket if you get stopped. They will not let that go.

Seriously? On a canoe? Good Lord.

I was stopped a few years ago for not having a life jacket on when kayaking down a river that was not more than 4 feet deep at the time. The agent (in a tiny skiff with a smaller engine) wanted my driver's license. I told him it was in the car and gave him an absurd name and address. He said he didn't believe me. I said, "fine, then arrest me". After some huffing and puffing he dropped the matter.

Is this really the world we want to live in?

no, but you will get busted every time they come around. They will probably take joy in this.

I fish the marsh in mine. I could just get in the skinny water and wait until nightfall. Party over.

I have my canoe registered just to be legit but I've talked to many green jeans and they don't give a shite if its registered. They are only worried about life jackets when I've ran into them on the water.

You're not going to get a registration on it without this!

If caught, they will throw the book at you.
