No Custom Function that I visited in Primal America, The Caribbean, the Bahamas, or when I returned to the United states of america asked well-nigh any dinghy.

Short reply: You lot need a separate registration for the dinghy if y'all put a motor on it... assuming yous're going to use it in Maine where your contour indicates you're from:

Maine Boating Laws - Registration Information

Offset line "All motorboats of any size, including airmobiles and personal watercraft, must be registered in Maine to be used on the waters of this Country"...

That would include tenders of yachts, even if the yacht is documented with the CG.

Thanks for your comments about dingy registration. I volition not be using it in Maine, only in Florida and the Bahamas. It will take less than 10 hp on the back. Thanks again.

If you are in Florida for more 90 days you need to register your vessel in Florida. If it is a USCG documented vessel it still must be registered - merely you volition not get a title or any State numbers, just a decal.
A work around is to keep moving and exercise not spend and meaning time in any ane place. Having your own State'south boat decals can aid so long equally y'all don't accept a long term in any one identify/county.

Every bit to the dinghy:

Q. Is a non-powered vessel required to be registered and titled?

A. If the non-motor powered vessel is less than xvi feet in length, information technology is non required to be registered or titled. However, if the vessel is sixteen feet or more in length, information technology is required to be registered and titled.

Q. I only use a small trolling motor when I use my 12 human foot vessel in the culvert behind my business firm. Do I have to register my vessel?

A. Yeah, all vessels used on public waterways with

any kind of motor

"all dingy'southward simply have T/T (name of vessel) written on the tender"

It'south not always a good thought to tell the world which gunkhole is abandoned at the anchorage. I would consider this before writing the name of my boat on the tender.

It's not always a good idea to tell the world which boat is abased at the anchorage. I would consider this before writing the name of my gunkhole on the tender.

Durring a recent trip thru customs, I was brash to put my DOC # on the dink instead of the boats NAME to avoid such a issue..

I presume you lot did not run into a Sheriff's or MWP patrol which, if so, would have required y'all to show your registration papers every bit will the Marine Patrol in Florida and particularly Fundamental West. I do not know the penalty for falsifying registration but it cannot be skilful in whatsoever case, particularly if the regime are "hard core". Hither (Florida), we bear a "bail-out purse" in the dinghy which includes a copy of our registration (laminated in plastic) which, together with flotation devices, pfd's and various other equipment is required to be aboard the boat. Jeeze, it really doesn't take a lot of effort, or cost, to be legal and eliminate the hassels.

USCG documented gunkhole: The tender should have the documentation number followed by a ane per the CFR. I like this better than T/T, as others have said, since an observer doesn't know what boat it's from, however it's identified. Fifty-fifty in Florida, if you are in the state less than 90 days, you lot can use the dink to transit coiffure directly from/to the documented vessel, no side excursions allowed. I was stopped by the FL fish & wildlife to cheque my life jacket and whistle, simply non hassled about the numbers, then at least with that particular officeholder it passed muster.

Here's what I copied on the CFR and keep onboard to show those folks with guns and uniforms:

HOWEVER, this is what the Code of Federal Regulations at Championship 33: Navigation and Navigable Waters, has to say:
� 173.13 Exemptions.

Where the Coast Guard issues numbers, the following classes of vessels are exempt, under Section 12303 of Title 46, United States Code, from the numbering provisions of Sections 12301 and 12302 of Title 46, United States Lawmaking, and this function:

(a) A vessel that is used exclusively for racing.

(b) A vessel equipped with propulsion machinery of less than 10 horsepower that:

(1) Is owned by the owner of a vessel for which a valid document of number has been issued;

(ii) Displays the number of that numbered vessel followed past the suffix "one" in the fashion prescribed in �173.27; and

(three) Is used every bit a

tender for direct transportation between that vessel and the shore and for no other purpose.

� 173.27 Numbers: Brandish; size; color.

(a) Each number required by �173.15 must:
(1) Be painted on or permanently attached to each side of the frontward half of the vessel except as allowed past paragraph (b) or required past paragraph (c) of this section;
(2) Be in patently vertical cake characters of not less than 3 inches in meridian;
(3) Contrast with the colour of the background and be distinctly visible and legible;
(4) Accept spaces or hyphens that are equal to the width of a alphabetic character other than "I" or a number other than "1" between the letter of the alphabet and number groupings (Example: DC 5678 EF or DC–5678–EF); and
(5) Read from left to right.
(b) and (c) don't apply
(d) Each number displayed on a tender exempted nether �173.13 must meet the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section and have a space or hyphen that is equal to the width of a letter other than "I" or a number other than "i" between the suffix and the number. (Instance: DC 5678 EF 1 or DC–5678–EF–one.)

When I asked virtually my dinghy in Alaska, they mentioned that the name was completely optional. Most people tend to name their dinghies with the same proper noun as the larger vessel, sometimes with 1 or ii tacked on if in that location's multiple ones (larger yachts - generally odd numbers being stowed on the starboard side, even on port). Also, in Alaska, annihilation powered needs to be registered. As far as being registered in FL when you're cruising there, I wouldn't worry also much virtually it. Equally long every bit the homeport is in Maine, and that's where you lot originated from and where you'll be returning to, so it shouldn't matter. The boat I but bought has been kept in AK for at least 4 years, simply was registered in Canada because the owner was Canadian. He sailed on a 'cruising allow' where he just had to bank check in with the government when he went from port to port. I don't know if that would really be necessary as information technology's at to the lowest degree an American flaged vessel. It's just similar driving your car in another country - doesn't really matter what license plate you have on it. If yous're living at that place, then you have to get it re-registered, but if yous're just on a summer vacation, so it's not a big deal.
