Boat/trailer registration info

[Matt G]

I understand how they may be preventing re-registering stolen boats, but who the f**k thought out this hairbrained process of having a boat registered? I have all of the material and machinery at my disposal to build my own boat, but from the sounds of things it's easier for me just to go drop stupid money on a production line POS just to divert the governmental BS. Really is pathetic!

It is very easy to have a boat registration transferred from Colorado to Louisiana.

It is also very easy to register a boat in Colorado. You need not live in Colorado, you only need to intend to use your boat in Colorado the year it is registered. If your plans change, you should probably transfer the registration to the state where you end up using the boat.

This suggests a possible strategy of registering a boat in Colorado, per the form above, and then transferring the boat registration to Louisiana.

Its fairly simple to register a homemade hull. Call LDWF set up an appointment and bring your boat with receipts for materials or I think they can come to you. Its the transfer or a pre-registered boat or trailer without a notarized bill of sale that is pathetic...A boat without proper papers is pretty much worthless.
