Boat and Trailer Titling and Registration in Minnesota.

[hopper3333]

My head is spinning trying to look up answers for titling, registration, licensing, etc. Very possible I am overthinking.

I have questions about the following hypothetical. Buy used boat and trailer from Iowa Resident. Would need to transfer to Minnesota, and I have not done before. Duck boat, may occasionally fish out of it. Technically 15'11 1/2" long. Will have motor. Do I need a title? Does it need registration?

Same for trailer. Need a title? Need Registration? License Plate?

Thank you for any help.

you need a title for the boat and trailer, not the motor. as long as you have the signed titles from the seller you should be fine. for a trailer that size you will get a sticker for a "forever" registration, no license plate. good luck!

You will also need registration on the boat. If you do not get a title for the trailer you will be able to re-title it. If there is no manufacturers name on the trailer, then title it as home made.
