The short answer is, no you don't need to register your boat in Ohio if you live in Pa. That would be the case even if you didn't have the launch permits (which, as I understand it, are not required even in your state unless you launch in a state park). Having the launch permits might prevent you from getting stopped and checked though.

Technically, if you were to paddle over 60 days (I think that's/year) in Ohio, you would need to register your boat here, but the reality is that the Watercraft people aren't going to bother you once they realize your from Pa.
