Title: Registrating a aluminum boat???
Post by: 76NORDIC on April 22, 2014, 07:11:44 PM
 I have a 14' 10' little fishing boat with a 6hp outboard {whacker} What are the rules in Cali for what you do or don't have to register? The guy I got it from didn't have a pink for the boat but did for the trailer. It has CF numbers on one side, not to great looking tho. I'm thinking, because it had 2 numbers on the inside that it mustve been a rental boat at one time. Anyone ???

call AAA with the vin and see what they need for you to reg it.

Sailboats over 8' and any motor driven craft....

Should not be a big deal, but the back fees to me are just stupid.

It will register just like any other boat.

Wouldn't you also be able to remove the hin, and call it a "home build" which would cause you to be able to register it like new.
