IC 9-31-2
Chapter 2. Watercraft Certificates of Title
IC 9-31-2-1
Nonapplicability of chapter
Sec. 1. This chapter does not apply to the following:
(1) A watercraft from a jurisdiction other than Indiana temporarily using the waters of Indiana.
(2) A ship's lifeboat.
(3) Watercraft other than motorboats unless the owner voluntarily desires to become subject to this chapter.
(4) A watercraft that is a Class 5 or lower motorboat or sailboat under IC 6-6-11-11 (the boat excise tax), unless the owner voluntarily desires to become subject to this chapter.
(5) A watercraft that is propelled by an internal combustion, steam, or electrical inboard or outboard motor or engine or by any mechanical means, including sailboats that are equipped with such a motor or engine when the sailboat is in operation whether or not the sails are hoisted, if:
(A) the watercraft was made by an individual for the use of the individual and not for resale; and
(B) the owner does not voluntarily desire to become subject to this chapter.
As added by P.L.71-1991, SEC.11.
My question is this, If I build a small boat for my own personal use and put a trolling motor on it would I have to regester it? 5A makes me question it.
