It isn't the only reason for the regulation, but it is the major one they would require a company transporting its own property to register. I was going to point out my own tendency to try and contract out these types of things just to avoid possible hassle. There are lots of insurance and regulatory pitfalls when it comes to doing things yourself. If it is an infrequent occurrence, I usually find it is appropriate to let some small contractor do it, presuming I can find one.

Put the pontoon boat on a ship and send it to California. It shouldn't be a hassle since moving boats this way is a common practice. You have 2 states sided by oceans.
