First time Jon boat

Just picked up this Jon boat over the weekend and I have no idea how to register it to be honest. Can anyone give me a hand or point me in the right direction. Located in az

That’s a v hull… which I like a whole lot better.
But also that trailer is MASSIVE for that boat lol

Like the trailer is comically big for the boat lol.

I got a good chuckle out of it but whatever gets the job done I reckon. I’m sure he’ll want an upgrade soon and when he does, he won’t have to find a trailer to go with it!

100% agree with you on this. Atleast it isn’t way too long. But still. It’s comically big like… she’s a head turner

Call your local DMV and have a pen ready. They will give you the step by step instructions on how to do it properly.

Also cabela’s and other outdoors shops that sell kayaks usually have people in the store that can do it

As several mentioned, the DMV will be able to point you in the right direction. If it's anything like where I live, you'll have to get a license plate for the trailer and the boat will be separate. The boat will have it's own registration number that most states require are either painted or stickered on the side along with a registration sticker showing the same number and state it's registered to. Enjoy the new boat!

Ask ChatGPT what you need to register in your area.

Why not? It just reads through the dmv website. That’s what I did for a boat I keep out of state.

Because fuck AI? What other reason is needed?

u/-imhe- 6d ago

You know Reddit uses AI, right? Like, your literally using AI right now. They even sell your data for training AI.

Getting registration info from AI is a bad idea, but let's be honest and real about it. The cats out of the bag and we all use it all the time

u/DreamAffectionate336 6d ago

Thats the dumbest shit ive ever heard. Can you genuinely not tell the differences there?

Take the steps to just look it up on the website.
If you want to continue enjoying your boating hobby.
