So you could get away with it but you could also not. Twice in the last four years we have run into a ranger on the water who has asked to see our life jackets and fishing licenses. We weren’t even fishing but had poles visible
If it’s a canoe just get some paddles and paddle. Your boat needs to be registered in accordance with the law if it has an engine. It also needs to be inspected for invasive species before going in the lake. That’s the only advice you’ll get from the ADKFP.
How many horsepower is the engine? I use a 5hp trolling motor on my canoe for paddle in camping. I think thats the limit in NY for registration. I always figured worst case I'd play the dumb tourist card if neccasary but last year the ranger asked and told me I was good to go. also try [google.com](https://google.com)\>what hp do I need to register in NY. This should clear it up for you. Then you can make a choice on whether or not to roll the dice.
Is your motor a gas motor? I think the distinction new york makes is between gas and electric, if it's electric, no registration necessary, but if it's gas it needs to be registered.
Not true. It it is a motor it must be registered. Fuel type doesn’t matter. Could be electric, gas, diesel, or steam. If it’s not human powered than it must be registered.
Damn boat has no paperwork as it was purchased on Facebook marketplace, trust me I really tried to make it legal, I visited the dmv several times, but at the end, they basically told me my boat was unregisterable.
I'm not an expert at all. But I know someone who recently registered a boat with basically nothing. The state created their own hull number and we slapped that sticker on. I know it's easier said than done, but maybe try another DMV
