But there is another side to this.
The law was written when there was any recreational boaters......
And do boaters, of ANY size, have to pay any fees or taxes a year to help offset the federal costs to keep the watetway up.
Lastly, maybe it is time to define what "interstate commerce" actually is. I do not think a rec. sailboat counts.
But in this case NS does have an option. Maybe moving to the NKP does make some sense.
