DO YOU NEED TO REGISTER YOUR MOTOTBOAT?
You must register if you
1) have a motor attached and
2) own and operate it in the state of Vermont, on the waters of this state unless you live out of state and your boat is
already registered in your home state or your boat has a valid document issued by a federal agency (Vermont
resident or non-resident).
Note: Any watercraft (shuttlecraft) which is propelled by other powered watercraft, docked or attached to it must be
registered as a motorboat in addition to the personal watercraft/PWC being registered.
OUT OF STATE REGISTRATION:
You may operate in Vermont for a period of 90 consecutive days if your home state grants like privileges to Vermont
boats or your boat has a federally issued number. However, if you use your vessel in Vermont waters for 30 days or more
you must obtain a vessel validation sticker. This validation of your out of state or federal registration will be in effect
through December 31 each year. Use form VD-113 (Application for Vessel Validation) instead of this form.
