150~350 for a canoe,
In Costco you can buy a new inflactable boat at about 130 including everything you need, or you can spend about 240 in CanadianTire for the same model, if you like.
For a mannual boat or canoe, no registration or license is required. But a safty chest for everyone on the boat is required by law. If you really want to do something else, you can call me I can share the canoe or boat with you for free, if you don't charge me.
