hi all,

I've a 8 ft sailing dingy and if I put a 30 lb thrust electric
motor on
it just so I can have a easier time when going up the
channel(upwind),
do I need to register it(in Calif)? thanks

Yes, you may have to register the boat.
Yes, you *may* have to register the boat? What kind of answer is
that
Billy boy?

Is an answer that says he may have to register the boat as it is on
the cusp. Contact the DMV and they will answer the question for him!
Yep. It is powered and therefore requires registration.

I don't even live in LaLa land and know that.

Hey Bill........bite me.


If it is8' or under then no registration required.
Been drinking again?


No, but it looks like you have as I guess you missed this part:

"..........and every motor-driven vessel (regardless of length) that is
not documented by the
U.S. Coast Guard which is used or on the waters of this state are subject
to
registration by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)."




I thought the criteria just about everywhere was "motor driven."

Something about sailboats and 8'.
