Second, there is a big question as to how much money this would generate. If 50,000 non-motorized vessels register, is an additional $50,000 in funds statewide worth the hassle and cost of requiring registration?
Keep in mind if they start registering, it will start by requiring all those vessels to get titles. That's 45 dollars. Then the state will charge a yearly fee.
As a owner of a power boat also I do understand the need for access. It's becoming a large problem with all the waterfront turning into condo's but I'm totally against having to register my cat or yak.
Let us know what happens with the meetings if you can.
