boat registration?

[toothycritter00]

I have a 12 foot row boat in the family for years and i recently bought a trolling motor for it. I was out the other day and a guy told me i needed to register it. I thought you only needed to register boats with gas motors. Anyone know what the deal is?

You also need to register it for a trolling motor.

You need to register any boat that has a mechanical means of propulsion  even  if its a canoe.

Here is a link for Massachusetts. You can print out the form and mail it in.

You can also go to the nearest Department of Revenue (Tax Office) and register your boat on the spot.
I'm in Westborough and had to go to Worcester to register mine.
