You need to register it and I not see anything about insurance, but, I would have insurance, it not much for some peace of mind.

If, you click on the second link it a PDF form and need Acrobat Reader. There is a phone number. I go copy it.
Call the New York State Department
of Motor Vehicles:
• 212-645-5550 from within New York City
• 800-922-9555 from elsewhere in New York
You do need to register it with the state. You need insurance for the marina and if you have a loan on it. You need to take a boat safety course if you were born after 1976, if it has an auxiliary engine.
