Best check with dept of
Best check with dept of transport - marine division. There are a number of factors including hull length, horse power and intended use. I am not sure of the specifics without researching it, but I suspect because of the length and intended use, yes you will need to register it, despite only having an electric motor.
Fish! HARD!

Unless you put a sail on it
Unless you put a sail on it and call it for a yacht or convince them it’s a canoe ... It looks as though they’ll be wanting to put their hand in your pocket .
