Registering my potoon boat for a motor

[Louflies]

The short answer is yes, you will need to register your pontoon boat and when I did it quite a few years ago I only had to bring my receipt or at least proof of ownership. Unfortunately the long answer is that just a couple years ago I tried to register a drift boat. I paid for the stickers, got my ID number, they came out and verified the Serial Number, and I put the numbers on. A couple of weeks later I got a call from the DMV and was told that the state of Idaho does not Title drift boats. I told them I just want to put my motor on it and this is what I got told "I don't care if you stick a sail in the middle of it and call it a Pirate Ship, Idaho does not title drift boats." I said I don't want to title it, I just want to register it and put a motor on it. Then I got told "Unless it is a motor boat you do not need to register it and you need to come in and pick up your refund and pull the numbers off." ????? I am pretty sure the person writing my first ticket for not having my boat registered will completely understand.[] There may be hoops-o-plenty. Good luck and let us know, I may get a new pontoon boat and will be putting a trolling motor on that one.
