New boat

As far as I know, You have to register anything that has any kind of motor. If you put a trolling motor on a canoe, You have to register it.

Any boat over 12’ has to be registered, motor or no.
The electric motor has to be registered as well. When you register it, you have to choose the boat it will be used on.
They get you coming and going.

"Any boat over 12’ has to be registered, motor or no"

Does that include canoes and kayaks?

According to the Town Clerk in Hollis, any boat over 12 feet long in New Hampshire must be registered.

See Spanky's post above. Canoes and kayaks do not require registration unless you put a motor on them.

There seems to be a little confusion on which craft are exempt from registration here in New Hampshire. Here is the pertinent RSA governing exemption....

TITLE XXII
NAVIGATION; HARBORS; COAST SURVEY
CHAPTER 270-E
VESSEL REGISTRATION AND NUMBERING
Section 270-E:4
270-E:4 Exemptions From Registration. – The following vessels shall be exempt from registration in this state:
I. Sailboats under 12 feet in length, rowboats and canoes powered by sail, oars, paddles, or other human power. Any vessel which has an inboard or outboard motor shall not be exempt from registration except as provided in paragraph II.
II. Vessels registered in another state or country temporarily using the waters of this state for not more than 30 consecutive days.
III. Vessels owned or operated by the United States government.
