New EPA water permit regulations are on the horizon. Some boaters
fear
this could cause them to sink or simply take their boats out of the
water
altogether.

BoatUS is playing it for all the PR it's worth, but anyone with modest
ability to read and think should realize that what the EPA has done by
providing "automatic" and free licenses is to abolish any requirement
for
a
license for vessels under 79 feet.


It's an interesting situation, and unfortunately it reminds me of what
the
Chinese gov't does. It has lots of laws on the books that it doesn't
generally enforce, but they're there, and when they like, they can
enforce
them.

'Not knowing the laws is no excuse for violating them'
