How to register a kayak for a motor

[keastman]

could someone that has registered their kayak for a motor tell me what they needed at the MV dept to get it registered. I don't have a title, do they just use the serial number?

Thanks

More importantly.... what are you putting on your Wave

You'll have to at least have to bring a bill of sale with your VIN or serial no. They will create you a title there and mail it to you. This is at least what happened to me recently with registering my canoe.

I registered a couple of kayaks and they only needed the VIN or serial #, not a bill of sale. Did it at the local office for driver licenses etc.

Thanks guys

I've been tinkering Jerry, pictures to follow. Right now I'm running it under the radar of the marine po po

Hello first time on here and first time owning a kayak. I recently purchased a Ocean Kayak Ambush similar to this one [url]([url]http://cdn.stripersonline.co ... 130870.jpg). Do you need to register the kayak with a trolling motor and where do you find the vin number for a kayak?
Thanks Ron

I have registered two of them . And yes if you put any type of motor on it electric or gas you have to register it . You will need ....
Hull ID #
bill of sale or your receipt
And the certificate of origin .( if you dont have it just call manufacture they by law must give you one. )
The process isnt that bad if you are lucky and find a clerk that has done this before.
Good luck hope it works out.

I just registered my kayak the other day. I wrote up a bill of sale and had the guy who sold it to me sign it. The company that made it is no longer in business so no hull or vin number. I showed the bill of sale and DMV of course taxed me and between that and the registration fess it was about $54 and they assigned me a hull number.

I am doing the same for my Ambush. There is actually a number in my hull that looks like an engraving tool was used to put in. I will take a pic for the dmv to use.

Yep, that is what they said I had to do with my hull number. I had to engrave it on the kayak. It is supposed to be on the back or on the far right side if there is not back area.
