I spoke with an aid for Congressman Ron Paul today and he indicated that this was currently failing due to a lack of interest in congress...

Write your congressmen unless you want a $800-$2000 yearly boating permit to be required by the EPA!

BTW, I think this is a positive post on my part...

Letters sent. I don't understand why permitting recreational boats would be so expensive, though? You know what they do, and how they are used - just hand out permits as long as your boat is a normal recreational-use boat. I suppose I missed the part where they say periodic detailed inspections are required in all cases?

Yo, Robert,
What boat are you in? I'm at Bartlett every chance I get and don't think I have ever met you. Have you seen my white and red SAN? Anyhow, if you ever need a pull just hit me up! ****icacca Riders Unite!
