Overview

It requires boats to carry an identification number and a certificate of title, sets fees and an excise tax on their issuance, licenses and bonds boat dealers and manufacturers, and provides for the filing and perfection of security interests in boats; on the operational side it mandates safety equipment such as personal flotation devices and muffling devices and regulates prohibited operation, conduct after collisions, water skiing, organized events such as regattas and races, and boat liveries. It also empowers designated authorities to issue supplementary and local regulations, and provides for enforcement, penalties, and the disposition of the fees and fines collected.
