Members Craig C Posted July 18, 2011 Members Posted July 18, 2011 I have an 8 foot jon boat that I currently just row around the ponds and small lakes. I have a trolling motor I could mount. I tryed to figure out from the DMV site. It says motorized boats need a license but not sure if its the same if its just a trolling motor. Anyone know?
Dutch Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Call your local license office and see if you have to register it for use on a public waterway.
Wayne SW/MO Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Yes you would need to license it, unless they have changed recently. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.

Water patrol told me "any motorized vessel", to include electronic motors (motorized) as well as canoes (vessels)... So yes, if you put a motor on it it has to be registered.. No motor, no registration. (this is Water patrol verbatim) cricket.c21.com
TroutRinger Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 "All motorized boats/vessels and any sailboats longer than 12 feet must be titled and registered." http://dor.mo.gov/motorv/watercraft/#notrequired Wording could be better. Break it up and it says 'All motorized boats/vessels must be titled and registered and any sailboat longer than 12 feet must be titled and registered'. "Of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy." "There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot."
