I'm not from Oregon, but I'm assuming you're talking about having to register kayaks and put numbers on the side like a power boat. If this is what it's about I think it's ridiculous that they can't stop taxing poeple for everything we do. Another complaint is building a beautiful wood strip kayak and then having to put decals on it, that's defacing a work of art (hey have they thought about putting decals on paintings, please don't give them the idea). As far as stolen kayaks, that's why I epoxy "Handcrafted by Dale Frolander" under the glass. If I ever sell it I will print a bill of sale with a picture on it so the new owner will have a record of owning it. If they want people to pay a small one-time (not annually) (VOLUNTARY) fee to register the serial number (no decals added to the side) for reclamation purposes, then I'm all for that.

BUT, I'm not from Oregon (so I don't have a say), and I probably don't know a thing about what I'm talking about, so if I'm all wet (pun intended) then just ignore me.
