Last I read boats with out mechanical propulsion are not required to be registerted if used in daylight hours. But add a motor gas or electric and it has to be registered.

This is what it states on DFA website.

Registering a Motor Boat
Boats propelled by sail or motor (including trolling motors) of any type must be registered when operated on public waters. You must have an Arkansas Certificate of Number (registration) and validation decals to operate a motorboat on Arkansas’ public waters. The only exceptions are:
Vessels that are not propelled by an engine or by sail.
