registration for an old boat/motor

Hello All,

I have an old 14’ crestliner aluminum boat and equally old Merc 9.8 that I hang off the back. The registration has lapsed long ago and I need to update. However, I have some vague memory of a ‘old boat’ exemption, but, can’t find a mention of it on the DNR site. Anyone have any ideas? Am I dreaming up my memory of this exemption?
