VESSELS THAT MUST BE TITLED

When any of the following vessels are acquired after December 31, 1999, the 
new owners are required to title them:

    * Any vessel with a permanently attached mode of propulsion, model year 
2000 or newer. Examples: model year 2000 inboard and inboard/outboard 
motorboats, sailboats, and personal watercraft (jet skis).
    * Any non-exempt vessel, model year 2000 or newer, over 12' in length, 
regardless of the mode of propulsion. Example: model year 2000 13' outboard.
    * Any non-exempt vessel that is being financed.

VESSELS THAT MAY BE OPTIONALLY TITLED

All types of vessels listed in the “vessels that must be titled” category that 
were acquired prior to January 1, 2000 may optionally be titled. These types 
of vessels (model year 1999 or older) may be optionally titled unless they 
are being financed, in which case they must be titled. Once a vessel has been 
titled, every subsequent Idaho owner must also title it in his name.

All of the above can be found with more administrative detail at:
