If you're gonna run the trolling motor on it you'll need to register it....verification for what you need is as close as your County Clerks Office. Below was taken off the Florida Vessel registration wen site.



All vessels, with the exception of non-motor-powered vessels less than 16 feet in length, non-motor-powered canoes, kayaks, racing shells or rowing sculls, regardless of length, must be registered through your local Tax Collector's Office .
