Title for long tail kits in Texas??
Hey guys I’m new to the mud motor scene and I’m looking into getting a swamp runner kit with 13hp predator motor from local harbor freight store. Does anyone know if/how to get a title on the motor since it does not come with MOS or a VIN number? For people not from Texas, the boat, motor and trailer all have to to be titled. Any information helps!

You don't need a title. I'm in TX. They will title a motor, but you don't really need it. You need a title for the boat and trailer for registration purposes, but you won't ever need it for a motor.

Why are you wanting a title anyway? You don’t need one at all

Don't mess with any of that bro, get your boat and get it registered so you have you paperwork on your boat and don't worry about the motor.

Re: Title for long tail kits in Texas??
If you want a title, go get one. The state will take your money if you want to give it to them. I’ve gone through the home built process on a boat and it’s relatively painless. The state doesn’t really care what it looks like, they just want your money. Gw walks around, slaps a couple stickers on it, and then sends you back inside where the clerk asks for a check.
I’m just saying you won’t ever really need it for anything.
