Boating in another state
« on: June 19, 2018, 10:43:53 PM »
I have never taken any boat out of state,I plan to take my boat to Montana for the 4th.When you take your boat out of state is it like a car and the tabs for your state work in every other state?

I believe so, but you should check local state laws. Oregon for example requires you to pay an invasive species permit/fee to use their boat ramps. Make sure you pick off all vegetation before crossing any state lines. Vegetation can result in a hefty fine.

your boater education card is welcome in every state that requires mandatory boater education.
When I pass, do not let my wife sell the guns for what I told her they cost.

Just like a car.  I live in Wa, but boat in Idaho and Mt more than Wa.  Idaho requires a $30 invasive species sticker for out of state.  MT does not but both states will inspect the boat for mussels.

Where are you headed?  Koocanusa is loaded with Kokanne and is a really cool lake.  Holter and Hauser have a ton of walleye and we have caught some decent trout of both.  If your going to Flathead watch the wind, it can get rougher than the Puget Sound. Use a couple of spring lines and extra fenders if mooring overnight the weather changes about every 15 minutes

There is a boat stop within the first few miles of entering Idaho. I have never gone through it as I usually exit before due to where I boat. That said, I have never had any issues with being stopped due to registration or lack of a Idaho sticker. I’ve been going out there for a week the last 7 or 8 years.

A lot of states have their own invasive species sticker required.  WY has motorized or non-motorized option.  And electric trolling motor is motorized.
