1. yes you do.
2. In most states you do not have to register a non-motorized boat. Yours has a motor, gotta be registered.
3. Yep! Pard. you got to see the man.
4. Yes you do.
5. Registration is mandatory for any boat with a motor that uses Massachusetts waterways. Titling is mandatory for any boat that uses an engine and is 14 feet or longer.
