Biggest beef is the amount of times I have been stopped, twice in one day on two occasions for safety checks... Why cant we just have our boats inspected yearly and be issued a sticker like on your vehicle ???
The Coasties will at least give you a copy of their inspection form which is good for a year (i think)...
Still dont fully understand their "right" to stop and board your vessel without cause, perhaps someone could enlighten me... I tried asking at the fish cop booth during a boat show and got allot of song and dance, I know better than to ask on the water
