Yes, if you want it registered and/or insured you need the title.

Answer 5

The boat has to be titled, but you don't have to keep it on the boat. Just keep your registration card with you on the water.

Answer 6

you will need the title if your going to get it registered.If you don't have a title you can apply for a lost title at the dmv.

Answer 7

Yes, you should have a Title for any Vehicle

Answer 8

all I had to do the register my boat was take the previous owners signed registration card to the game and fish and they gave me a new sticker to put on it that day, gave me a temp card, and sent me one in the mail bout a week later. That should be all you need, but different states may vary check with your game and fish dept in your state and they will tell you exactly what you need to do.
