: I am from oh one of 7 or 14 states in the US that requires hand
: powered water craft to be registered and display a big old
: 3" x 6" sticker behind the cockpit or 4" numbers
: down both sides of the bow plus a 4" registration sticker.
: The registration fee is $17 plus a $3 writing fee plus a $5
: waterway conservation fee, for a total of $25 for three years.
: The additional $5 environmental impact fees is not accessed to
: power boats.

: Also you must carry the registration card on board at all times
: like a drivers license.

: I was wandering if this is a requirement else ware in the world or
: just here in the states. On a side note I was half temped to do
: an inlay picture frame around where the registration sticker
: goes:)

Be glad you're not in Illinois. Our stickers arn't quite so huge, but we also have to have home built boats inspected by the state before they can get registered and get the stickers. Further downside is the state only checks the home built boats once a month and at a roving inspection site, can be as much as 100 miles away.
Real fun.
