There is a lot more information about this at Boat U.S., http://www.boatus.com/gov/

Since they can't get Congress to do anything about voting for the "Recreational Boating Act of 2007," the boating community has now introduced the "Clean Boating Act of 2008" in defense of our interests. How can our representatives turn down anything that uses the word "Clean"? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The whole thing is ridiculous. But I'm thankful that Boat U.S. lobbies so hard for causes like this.
