My boat registration is a bargain compared to my snowmobile reg. After club dues...$73. If I wait to make sure there is snow...$78. because you can't join a club and register on short notice. Give me my boat reg and the guarantee of 6 months of open water!

While I choose to boat and sled, the boat reg increase was definitely overdue. I question how Marine Patrol survived this long (seven years or so of dedicated funding) under the old formula.

I do support paddlers registering as well. They use the ramps that are paid for by access funds raised by powerboat registrations! Ramps that I can't launch at because they are "car top". They need to be searched for after being reported overdue, resources are used when they capsize and drown, they benefit from buoys and signage, and they are using a resource that everyone knows needs protecting. Time to pay the piper!
