From a practice point of view I think he might have a hard time describing which "vessels" require this NEW type of registration. At our place we have lots of inflatables. A couple of them look like inflatable boats, one is a dragon you ride on, one is a tube with a seat for a toddler. And of course there are a couple of small lounge rafts. Which will require these stickers?
Is this a boat? Will a Marine Patrol officer think it's a boat? What if the kids were holding paddles?

Good questions.
I am seeing a number of bills regarding boating now being introduced that are poorly researched and horribly worded. We have a number of laws that many of us have noticed over the years that are vague and confusing. But instead of addressing the problems we have, we have a rush to add more red tape.
I am disappointed that so many conservatives that ran on a platform to trim Government are instead bowling each other over to add yet more layers of regulation. The only real difference I see so far with the new legislature versus the old is just a different set of special interest groups calling the shots....
