When I lived in Florida I registered a small jon boat as a homebuilt and it was real easy. I went to the License plate office and they had a one page form where I listed where I got the materials and the weight and other specifications. Not to put down state employees but they weren't real interested in asking questions - they just wanted a filled out form, a check, and they were happy. A few weeks later my title arrived in the mail.
I never told them I didn't actually make the boat. It was an old fiberglass jon and the guy I bought it from had no registration of any kind for it. Sometimes you just gotta bend the rules.
