Everyone wants good launch ramps, clean rest rooms at parks, and other items to make it a good day sailing or boating, problem is that no one wants taxes to go up to pay for this. So politicians want to truthfully say that they didn’t raise taxes, but state agencies can raise fees, licenses, user fees, launch frees, parks entrance fees, the list goes on. Which might be the best way to do this as this makes the user pay more for the recreation they enjoy.

Subject: M_Boats: Re: Registration fees
Which is the stern - port or starboard? :-)
Sail-only craft under 12 ft. in Oregon don't need registration. So your
M5 is exempt...as is my El Toro dinghy at a hair under 8 ft.
I just think of it as a "two-for-one"...register my big boat, get my
little one for free.
cheers,
John
