As soon as I unfurl the sail on a PA14, I'm subject to a ticket unless I have CF numbers...
I stand corrected. Is it really that big of a hassle though? I have a couple of pwc and the gas I spend on the jetskis and to get to and from the ocean or lake far outweigh the cost of registration. Same could hold true for the type of coin we put into kayak fishing.
