Engine without title


I would like to take my 10ft inflatable to the Baja over Christmas. The boat is titled and registered in Texas.

I have a Hangkai 12HP motor on it, for which it's impossible to get a title, due to the red tape origination documents etc. To date, I haven't been bothered by any authority when I use it.

Am I likely to have trouble getting into Baja, or will my boat registration be sufficient?

I crossed at Tecate a couple of months ago with a rolled up 10' inflatable strapped up on top of a 15 HP outboard inside my camper. No titles, no registration, no questions asked.

What states require a title and registration for motors? Even if you were applying for a TIP, which isn't required because you are under 14', all they would want to see is the title for your boat and the serial number for the engine.

Welcome to Nomads! Now go forth and fish!
