I recently purchased a new Bass Raider by Pelican and want to add a trolling motor. I live in MA so obviously it needs to be registered so my question is, what is an MSO certificate I need to bring with me to Boston? I didn't get any paperwork with the boat, just a receipt, a "how to" for putting the seats together and an "accessories" flyer. Can anyone advise on the items I need to bring with me so I can stop trying to paddle this thing and get it registered.
Much appreciated,

The vendor should never have let you leave the store without the MSO. That is crap ass service and I would raise a big stink with them. They owe you big time for the inconvenience they created. Use it to your advantage. If the store gives you a hard time complain to the manufacturer. They will want to know that a dealer isn't on the up and up.
It is not an insurmountable problem but definitely a pain in the ass. I appreciate that you stated you didn't look for the documentation, but they should be responsible for that error. I would seriously consider returning it for a new one with a MSO. If you added any rod holders or cleats and have screw hole damage, it would not deter me from holding them accountable to make it right.
My 2 cents.

I chose Nashua cause I'm in Tewksbury and its the closest one that had the Raider, Saugus didnt have any of them and NH had 4 so paying the tax is not an issue and a quick fix. I'm going to call them and see what they recommend for next steps but worse case is I throw the boat on the roof, bring it back and get a new one. No screw holes, only in the water once and I have 30 days to return and only had it for a week.
Thanks all, much appreciated.

Just called Dicks, they have 3 more boats and NONE have the MSO cert in the packaging. They are calling the manufacturer to get an MSO for all the boats. He opened up the 3 boats plastic wrap cause I said I was bringing mine back to replace and he said they were all empty, strange. Waiting in a call back from Dicks/manufacturer with the right paperwork. What a TIME SUCK this turned out to be.
