[striperman]

Hey guys,My uncle left me a row boat and it has no ser# on it.I would like to get it registered but not sure what I would need to do.Does anyone know what I would need to do to do this?Thanks

u putting a motor on it?  scribe a # on a plate attach it to the boat and give them that..

DEC can give you a number. They come and look at boat, give you #. Have to get #s engraved on a small piece of metal and attach to boat. At least thats what they did for me, but it was a while ago.

Dec doesn’t get involved in registrations you have to register it as a home made bring pictures with you to dmv I have done it a few times they give you the number to put on hull aka hull identification number

Make sure you tell them it’s older pre 70s before numbers were put on less experienced dmv employees might not know all of this

Size of boat can come into play also. 14' or bigger need title.

Since you said row boat im assuming you want to put it on a NYC reservoir like roundout or ashokan? If so you have to make an appointment to get it steamed cleaned an registered. There office dont open until mid march. I would go an scout boat areas and see what fits you then find a good tree to chain it to.

All I have for my 16ft and 14ft row boats are transferable registration. I run a 25 hp on them.
