jpb2187 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 As the title says, looking for a aluminum square stern canoe. 16-17 ft ideally. Doesn't need to be pretty.
Gavin Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 They pop up all the time on Craigslist. Make sure that the boat has a title if you intend to attach a motor and use on a public waterway. Its a real pain to register a boat, motor, or trailer without a title. Good luck! Daryk Campbell Sr 1
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Gavin is right. They usually have a high listing. Keep your eyes open, and have cash ready, you can do well. I have a used deep cycle battery if you need one. Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me) I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)
Pat Magee Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I bought a used trailer without a title to haul my kayaks and I just registered it as a homemade trailer and it was easy peasy. All I had to do was get it inspected.

Pat Magee Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I imagine it's much like a car or truck. It can be done but not without being a huge PITA. grizwilson 1
fishinwrench Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 The licensing and registering of canoe/trolling motor rigs is better off ignored IMO. The places where you are using it is typically not the type places where the Water Patrol hangs out, and I don't think Conservation agents enforce vehicular issues unless a specific type of vehicle is prohibited where you are using it. If you're on a city lake or something then you might wanna try to license it, otherwise it isn't worth the headache or the cost. Very few canoes come with titles, and getting a title assigned to one is a major pia. grizwilson 1
snagged in outlet 3 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I'm probably jinxing myself but I've had a Pond Prowler for years and never got it licensed. I could since I bought it new. I've never had anyone even give it a second look unless I was fishing where it was questionable that I should be there. Those places didn't specifically "say" I couldn't fish there because they probably thought nobody would. I just kick a little dirt and apologize while I load up and flee the scene.

You would think that you could use a small layout boat duck hunting with a trolling motor or other motor and hunt a conservation area flooded cornfield and not be in any trouble, but unfortunately, sometime water patrol can and will patrol those areas. I think that is kind of crazy for a flooded field, but it is what it is. For example, I know Four Rivers has had some people getting ticketed for not registering their boat and motor. The odds may be that you won't have an issue, but it is possible. slothman and grizwilson 2 Anthony Linhardt
