Motor - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

As far as I know...if you motorize your kayak you'll need to register it with the DMV.
This is from a BWE post a couple of weeks ago...
"show a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin - stating Dealer information, vessel information ( model name, model year, hull ID No., length weight, hull material. We will also have an invoice stating who the vessel was sold to."
Having the price on the invoice is important, as that is what they base your fee on.
Good info...but if your a AAA member it's much easier and quicker to do it at their offices rather than the DMV office."
FYI...if you only use your boat or yak in the saltwater you do not have to pay the additional $16 quagga fee...so it's only $20.
