Does a 10' pond prowler with a trolling motor require boat registration if used on public lakes/river?
If motorized and on public waters, yes
Sent from my LM-G820 using Crappie.com Fishing mobile app
Does a trolling motor count as motorized?
Yes, as far as I know anything that moves the boat is motorized except a paddle
I didn't think trolling motor counted but after I put one on my canoe I was warned not to be on the water again with it unless the boat had registration

- If the non-motor powered vessel is less than 16 feet in length, it is not required to be registered or titled.
Thanks for the info. Guess I better go to the DMV and give them some money.
