Just found this gem on the TC website (like anyone every goes there to find this stuff) on which they are looking at implementing a fee structure directed at boat owners to offset costs for abandoned, wrecked, and unfit vessels on the waterways. The proposed fee appears to be flat rate of $10 every five years, regardless of whether you own a 14’ tinner with a 15hp or a 49’ yacht (of course). They are asking for your feedback on the proposal by Nov 9. Have your say if you’re so inclined.
