Works for me!

I'd take it a step further on the funding end and in addition to increasing fees and expanding registration, eliminate the rebate for state gasoline tax at marinas but the money has to be earmarked for use by the Marine Patrol by statute, otherwise I think it just goes into the general fund. Eliminating the rebate on the state gas tax for boat will mean transient boaters also help pay for the increased enforcement.

I think the underlying issue here is the lack of enforcement of the 150' rule, not a speed limit.
