small boat use

[FISHEYEZ]

Hey everyone, so I was given a nice 9.9hp motor (freshly tuned-up) and bought a 14' aluminum boat. I have had my pleasure craft operators card for years, with a fair bit of experience. Anyway, after reading a bit of info, am I correct that I can put the boat in the water without registration/licensing? Without any identifying numbers?

Thanks

Not sure of the regs in Ontario, but here in PA, a boat that size, with gas motor, must be licensed and registered - registration numbers clearly visible.

I believe you are correct. If I remember correctly anything over 10hp needs to be registered in Ontario.

 

I know my first boat (12' with 5.5 didn't need to be)

Anything under 10hp doesn't need to be registered.

Anything under 10hp doesn't need to be registered.

Does that mean anything over 10hp needs to be registered?

yes, you are correct based on this page. https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/debs-obs-paperwork-paperwork_boat_licence-1898.htm Just make sure you have the proper safety equipment.
