 mud motor titles?I just recently had trouble with selling an outboard because I didn't have a title. I am about to buy my first mud motor and I have heard that mud motors don't need titles. Is this true? Do they not transfer titles?

Re: mud motor titles? no title needed on a motor in LA... however, PD does issue a title with every motor sold.

Re: mud motor titles? Yep - Texas requires a title for all outboard motors which
in their eyes includes mud motors both longtail and surface drives.... _________________ Eat - Sleep - Hunt ! ! ! "It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end." |

Re: mud motor titles? Texas requires titles, although they don't require annual registration. I say screw em, I'll keep a bill of sale and thats it. They get enough of my damn tax money

Re: mud motor titles? According to the TP&W official I talked to no title is needed on an air cooled engine. I didn't argue with them and proceeded to just title my boat. Same deal with the airboat engine.

Re: mud motor titles? People always believe - what they WANT to hear....
Don't spread BAD INFO that gets a guy into trouble.... http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/publication ... 0_1193.pdf Check it out - here are a few excerpts.... Outboard motor – ANY self-contained internal combustion propulsion system, excluding fuel supply, which is used to propel a vessel and which is detachable as a unit from the vessel. (Parks and Wildlife Code 31.003 (13)) Parks & Wildlife Code § 31.0413. Exemption From Dealer Licensing Requirements The dealer licensing provisions of this subchapter do not apply to the sale of a canoe, kayak, punt, rowboat, rubber raft, paddleboat, or other vessel that is less than 12 feet in length and has a horsepower rating of FIVE horsepower or less or to the sale of an outboard motor with a manufacturer's rating of FIVE horsepower or less. _________________ Eat - Sleep - Hunt ! ! !
