Tipp is correct. You buy a new license every 3 yrs. Don't need to renew until your current out-of-state license expires though. Go to a licensing station with your boats info and they will help you out. You'll need make model and the Hull ID number. should be stamped on the boat or look on your old license.

As a non-resident for a trip or are you moving here Metzie?

If you're just coming here for a trip, its not required. If you live in MN then you are required to register your boat even if its a canoe or kayak.

hey guys I have a similar question. I acquired an older Coleman "scanoe" yes the spelling is correct. It's green with a square back. My neighbor gave it to me and it used to be his grandmothers from her cabin in Canada. I can't find a serial number and there was not title for it. It's about 15+ years old and I want to license it this week for fishing. SO my question is can I still walk to DMV and possibly get it registered and a title???? Help with this soon because I'm going to DMV during my lunch break.

thanks,

KMR is incorrect. If you plan on dropping your boat in the water for any reason it needs to be registered. Boats use water, cars on the road, sled or ATV etc. You need to register and title your boat. Its a 3yr license for around $35.

Meatrun, I do know of the scanoe. The Hull ID number should be stamped into the gunwale near the bow or try to find the manufacturer sticker with weight capacities. For your boat I owuld look in the very front of the boat on the inside. It might be near the edge of where the insulation is.

Good to see this was straightened out. Did this change or something within the last 10 years? I remember taking my watercraft safety test when I was 12 and I am pretty sure that there was something about this in there and you didnt have to register unless you were fishing. I also heard this from my uncle. I guess I should re-read the regs. Either way, I will have a combo boat so its registered.

powerstroke/sparcebag,

thanks for the help. I did make it over to the local DMV and without a serial number and info I did manage to get it registered and it only cost me $24 for a 3 year license. When I get home I'll look for the spot you guys mentioned and see if it's there or wore off. Kudos to you and this HSOforum with so many knowledgable folks willing to help much appreciated!!!

Now I'm looking forward to my first voyage with my boy first canoe trip/ride infront of the dock, this should be exciting. He's 3 and half and I'm half tempted to duc tape him to his seat (just kidding of course).

Later,

mr I hope you guys have a great day on the water.

KMR, I'm not sure when the regs changed, I just know thats the way it is now. I've had my canoe registered for 12yrs and I had to register it the first time just for rec use so who knows. I wasn't trying to make a big deal, I just wanted to make sure we get the right info on the site.

Have fun on the water!!

when you go to register a canoe or kayak is there any discussion of ownership? the old 17 footer canoe I got from a friend of mine was his GF's dead husbands. I assume as long as you have a serial # and its not stolen they give you a sticker?

Are you sure you need to register a duck boat. I guess I was under the impression that they did not need to be registered. If so - I don't know how I will describe a couple of the old homemade boats I have when they ask for type of watercraft.

You describe it the same way I described my homemade trailer. They will ask how big the boat is, is it motorized, what is it made out of?

People make homemade canoes too. All watercraft must be registered. If you're really unsure call the License Office in your county.

I did a little research and according to the 2006 Minnesota Waterfowl Supplemental -

"A duck boat does not have to be licensed during the waterfowl hunting season for waterfowl hunting only"

So I guess you need to register anything that floats UNLESS you are only going to be using it for a duck boat.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
