If I brought this boat and motor to Tn, as long as I had it registered in CO and my CO registration sticker was in view, would I be legal in TN?
Would I be required to have proof of a boat safety course? THANKS Ray

"If you are a Tennessee resident born after January 1, 1989 and operating a boat with more than 8.5 horsepower, then you need the certification.

If you are a non-Tennessee resident born after January 1, 1989 and visiting Tennessee and operating a boat with more than 8.5 horsepower, you will need a boating education certification approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA).

Even if you do not need the certification, by getting one, you may save on your boat insurance."



5 HP motor would stop you from having to also are you over 31?

I'm now 80 ys old, am a nonresident of TN (CO), and motor is still the same (5hp). Looks like i do NOT need certification. However, how about my CO registration, is it valid for TN on a temporary basis??
