registering a canoe without title or bill of sale

[phil]

im assuming someone here has done this in our wonderful state. make a long story short I have an old town canoe and want to add a trolling motor. can I write up a boilerplate notarized bill of sale, have it notarized and head to the DMV with the other required paperwork and a check and walk out and be done? my head is spinning reading all the old posts about this.
