I just bought me a jon boat 12' er and was wondering about regestration for this boat. there is no title to it, I made a trade with a friend of mine. It does have a trolling motor. Could someone please give me information on what I need to do to get my little boat legal and on the water before the fall feed of crappie passes me by. I fish all over but there is one lake that was really good to me last year when my buddy had his boat and i havent been on the water for about 4 or 5 months and shoreline fishing has totally sucked for the most part this year.
