We aren't going to go that way...
Far too many people of ''ill character'' that cannot be given the opportunity to be problematic.
We've clearly gone to boating licenses and restrictions on those operators that are too young to be licensed. We've made small moves toward non-residents having higher registration costs... much like other off-road recreational activities... and I suspect that power boaters will take the brunt of the latest economic situation.
