Classifications and Fees – The fees in the table on page 4 are for the classifications

NOTE: If an application for a motorboat not previously registered in Nebraska by the

by 1/36 for each full month of the registration period already expired, as of the date the
boat was acquired.
Change of Address – Anyone with a valid boat registration who changes his address
shall, within 15 days, notify Game and Parks of the new address.
Transfer of Ownership – The boat owner shall furnish Game and Parks notice of
transfer of all or any part of his interest, within 15 days of the effective date. If the
transfer of part ownership does not affect the owner's right to operate the motorboat,
the transaction will not affect the registration.
Destruction or Abandonment – The owner shall notify the Game and Parks of the
destruction or abandonment of any vessel within 15 days, which will terminate the
