[QUOTE="richg99, post: 409347, member: 4376"] One serious issue (to me) about the growth in Kayak numbers has been that they pay no "use taxes" ......as we do with our motorized boats. Remember, I'm on both sides of this issue as I do both yakking and PBing. Lately, more PBing, but that doesn't change the fact that my yaks ride for free, while my power boat, and my yak with a trolling motor, have to pay to use the same water. Added to that is the expansion of group kayaking, mostly by profit-making businesses. It seems to me that, to level the playing field, kayakers and canoeists, as well as the many new "guide services" should be paying their fair share. I am generally against any additional government regulation, but...fair is fair. If we PB'ers have to pay, then the others that use the waterways should have to pay. richg99 [/QUOTE]
