So I bought an old 77′ fiberglass canoe…..(price was right)
my buddies dad had it registered back in 04 and he has since passed.
my question is is how would I go about getting registration sticker for this canoe with out having to jump through a bunch of hoops? Can I just tell the dmv it has no serial number? any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Isn’t there a registration sticker on it? Maybe it’s unreadable. I’d there is, that number should be able to satisfy them.
I have a ’65 Grumman, and it has a hull ID tag on it.
Go to the DMV and explain the situation. It’ll probably be pretty easy.
ralph, yes there is a reg sticker that I can barely read. i will see if i can get some #’S off of it.
Munchy, that’s what I was thinking. i will just go there and see what they say. I think a lot has to do with who you are dealing with at the dmv also, some of those ladies are a bit nicer than others lol… Thanks guys
Just tell them you made it, give them the length and go canoeing.
Do you register a canoe? I don’t think we do in WI. Never registered a kayak.
Yea on this side of the river anything over 10 foot needs to be licensed
Please keep us updated with the hoops you jump through to this. I am thinking of picking one up for my family.
Will do
i have a 17 ft alumline aluminum canoe. have had it since 1975 when i graduated high school. i paid for it from cash i got from the grad party………….and i’ve had it licensed/registered since then.

In minnesota you have to register a rubber ducky
Have someone write you up a bill of sale. Like anyone. Saying joe blow sold this canoe to you for x price. In mn you will need that to get it registered
I was given a canoe by a neighbor about 10-15 years ago and just brought the hull identification Number in on a piece of paper. If I remember right I might have had the past registration tag from that previous owner, but I would think a bill of sale would work fine, like stated above.
Guessing the dnr is usually willing to figure out away for you to pay them for something…
Thanks guys i do have a bill of sale . Plan on going to dmv tomorrow.
I will prob be easier than i think……hopefully

It will be. My uncle gave me his boat last year and all I needed was a piece of paper saying “I so-n-so am giving my -boat brand, model, and year- to so-n-so”. Signed and dated by both parties. A bill of sale will be all that is needed, especially on a low dollar value item such as a 40 year old canoe.

I’m hoping for the best for ya but I went thru this s few years back. If I remember right, if you have no hull identification #, you must go thru the DNR first, get a number thru them, then go to the DMV for registration. Maybe DNR will register for you also but I think that may be your route.

The other caveat of that is if you’re a WI resident but use a canoe in MN it has to be registered. I specifically asked the MN DNR this question and they said they honor another state’s registration but not the lack of a registration requirement.
Was less painfull than I thought.
Just a bill of sale and hull id was what i gave them. Time to put the old jalopy in The water
