Permits for Recreational Boats
I'm not sure if this is old news or not, but I just got an email alert about it. I thought I would pass it along. Looks like it will apply to all recreational boats.

Though I think the current permit system they are discussing is downright silly (and will never pass), I do think some form of engine inspection should be part of the boat ownership process. I've seen so many NASTY outboards and I/O's that spew oil and exhaust into the lakes ! Hell - who has not winched their boat up at a public doc and NOT seen oil residue lines on the hull at LEAST once.
Should be every 2 years, basic engine inspection - run it (cold), see if it leaks. Pass/fail, get the sticker and go. $10-$15.
I also support Drivers/Operators licensing for all motorcraft... but that is anther discussion.

I'm tired of half sunken boats left on shores or worse, in the shallows.
If $10-$15 a year would clean that up, I'm in.
