Is your Max titled as an ATV or boat???

[fomocoguy]

Hey all! I'm working toward getting the title straightened out on my Max and I need to do a record check on it. It's never been titled so I know nothing will show, but I need to search for the right thing for the sake of having the right paperwork. SO, my question is are they titled as ATVs or boats? If any of you have your machine titled in MO that would be particularly helpful to know. Thanks!

Well there has been 52 views and no responses; am I asking the wrong question? Are most of these 6x6's not titled at all???

Well where i live they are not titled but if you take them in the river you need to get boat stickers from dnr. but i am sure it is different state to state

Yeah, a lot of people don't title their ATVs but like Marshall said it really depends on where you live. Is MO making you title it or perhaps it's a requirement for public trail riding? I don't have mine titled but I do have it registered as a boat so I can legally be on public waters.

My Avenger is register also as a boat for the same reason as Mike.

[fomocoguy]

Well, in MO everything is supposed to be titled. You can't use a boat on public waters without having a titled and registered boat, motor, and trailer. As for atv's, they are supposed to have an ATV sticker that you can get when you title the machine. My main reason is that one day I may want to sell it and around here titles are somewhat expected for any motor vehicle.

The problem with mine is that it was never registered from the beginning, so I'm gonna have to work the system a bit to get it done.

I'm in Virginia and no titles here, but I believe that Penn has some type of title requirement for its residents? I did have to register my ATV in Maryland to use their State Parks.

I too have been thinking about getting a title on mine, but I'v been told there are several services for that. Costs a bit but based on what I've see it might be worth it.

Fomocoguy, I'm in Ohio. I have my argo reg as an atv for land (red ohio shape on back of unit). I also,after a lot of effort and trips to ODNR Watercraft Div., have it reg as a boat for use on public waters.(green ohio shape on side of unit with hull id #'s) Don't recall what class at this moment but similar to that of an open small craft.(not a "personal watercraft"). 1 small snag though. I have access to Pymatuning Resivoir, however, PA. will NOT honor my ohio boat reg. due to some of their specifics regarding bilge area isolation and venting,total bummer as I am in this area frequently and would take full advantage of any oportunity to access the lake for numerous reasons.

This sounds a lot like Missouri. So, does your title say ATV or marine for the type of vehicle? Thanks for the info!

I've looked into this too and my problem is it's too new. Every place I've seen does vehicles 15 years old or older (1995) and my Max is a 2000 model.

I have an argo but in vermont they allow you to register them as ASV or all surface vehicle. You pay the boat reg fee and atv reg fee and you can go on water, land and snow trails with the plate. cost about 70 bucks

[fomocoguy]

Wow, that's cool. I guess every state really is totally different in the way they handle these vehicles. I tried to call the Max dealer that is here in MO and ask them but they are out of commission for the moment.

[JoeMeg]

My conquest is "titled" as ATV." Regestered" as "atv" for land(red sticker on back $35/3 yr.) and as "watercraft" (green sticker adjecent hull i d #'s, $35/3 yr.) so total $70/3yr.

[fomocoguy]

Thanks for the info! I think MO will be similar. I'm gonna talk to the nearest MO argo dealer and ask them tomorrow.

[fomocoguy]

Ok, so the Argo dealer says they are titled as ATVs, so that gives me some direction. Thanks for all the replies!
