The first year is more, but it is inexpensive after that as tubedude said. Also believe me if you are ever fishing in even a little breeze you will thank your lucky stars that you registered the tune and put an electric trolling motor on it, because unless the wind is right for drift fishing you will spend most of your time trying to turn the toon the right direction and then only fishing long enough to have to drop it all and grab the oars again. Putting a motor on mine was the best thing I ever did. I think there are some pics of my motor setup on the floatation board. I mount mine in front instead of in back and it makes it a lot easier to steer. Well happy tooning and enjoy,

Jed made good use of the foot rests on the frame to secure the wooden motor mount crosspiece.
