1. yes you have to regester your boat.
2. yes. all boats have to be.
3. yes, its law that all boats have to be registered. If you get caught with an unregistered boat you can be fined, big time. I would go to the local marina and talk to someone there.
4. You know the place where you get license plates? Go there! Your boat needs to be registered, and so do any trailers.
5. Only boats with mechanical propulsion, or certain length sailboats are required to be "regested" in most states. Yours has mechanical propulsion, gotta register it. In GA, it only costs $15.00 for 3 years. Not bad at all, but then the county sends you a personal property tax bill on it as well!
6. I am sure you do in most states, if it is powered with anything other than a paddle. You also need to check into if you need a license to operate said boat also.
7. In Minnesota you must.
8. yes you would have to regeste the boat
9. Yes ... you must register your boat .. as per the rules
