I agree that as kayakers we should maintain standards of etiquette as it improves the image of the sport, but I wish powerboaters, especially the guys with over powered bass boats would show some etiquette as well. Down here they "jokingly" call kayaks speed bumps, it is a bad attitude, and a lot of accidents could be avoided.

: This would depend on the state. In MN, we pay for a license on
: canoes and kayaks just the same as power boaters and sailors.
: I'd venture to say that paddlers probably pay more on average,
: because of owning multiple canoes or kayaks. Minnesota has the
: most boats per capita out of any states, so I imagine it's big
: revenue for the state.
