>>From the NY DMV page:

>>Whether it's a tiny fishing boat for quiet days on the lake or a
luxury

even
>>if the motor isn't the primary source of propulsion.
>>The Department of Motor Vehicles will issue you a registration
certificate
>>valid for three years and registration stickers; the certificate will
>>indicate the registration number, which you must paint or affix to
both
>>sides of the boat's bow. Note that if the boat has a trailer, you
should
>>register the trailer also
