Default Just the motor!

As for license plates, my understanding back then, you did not register the boat, you registered the motor. So if you had two outboards, you had two plates. Some put the plate on the motor and when they used the motor on a different boat, already registered.
We just had a motor and no boat so dad rented a row boat and the plate was attached to the motor. No bailing wire dad mounted a license plate bracket to the motor. The old plates are still around. The plates were green with white letters or white with green letters depending on the year.
