...I am trying to understand what this practice of recording is all about? Many can just put boats in the water from homes etc. May I know why this is being done? Is it for the Millfoil or ? Is it for safety to have each boat from some outside area recorded? Do all boats going into the lake need to be registered here for the time they are in the water or could they just come in from out of state? Thank you so much...

If the boater has already received the "talk," by looking at the list of bow numbers, the Lake Host will know that they don't have to bother the boater with information they already know and they will only help the boater conduct an out-going inspection...
