In my State,WV, I had to take "most" of my material receips, along with two pictures of the Boat to my DMV.
1. Paid sales tax on materials {5%}
2. Paid Title Fee {$5.00}
3. Paid Registration Fee (fixed cost,based on when during 3 year term)- $15-$30
I later received in mail:
a} Title
b} Registration card with Hinn no.+ sticker placed inside Boat as well as "burned" into wood some where inside the boat
c} Hull no,s to be placed on sides of boat near bow
Sounds rather involved but was fairly easy and painless (depending on materials was less than $100)

I would strongly suggest you call your local DMV and be sure you get the right information.
Every state is different, and you local area may have extra requirements.
TN is a state that doesn't title either ... bill of sale and you're good to go. BUT, that didn't work out with the little wood boat he built. Do your due diligence.Do you need a title for a non-motorized boat? Here you don't.
Here, home built is easy to title as long as it meets the guidelines, floatation included.
how thick? found some diamond plate 1/16" would that be too heavy? a 4'x10' sheet on the bottom, smooth side down treads up for traction, and something thinner for the gunwhalesAluminum
