Mac, found this section which is pretty interesting in the code:
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/boatsinfo/boatreg.htm
Yes, registration is required for Ca residents for private lakes.
"Yes; any vessel that is used or moored on California waterways, including private lakes, must be registered."
But what is interesting is that NO registration is required for out of state registered boats, IF I read this section correctly!
"FOLLOWING DO NOT HAVE TO BE REGISTERED":
"Vessels currently and lawfully numbered (registered) by another state that are principally used outside California"
So it would appear that you guys with a troll motor powered pontoon in Utah, where it is too cold to fish right now, can drive over to Ca right now and fish, if you don't want to wait for the thaw!
