I think it's a fair idea if it's used solely for safety programs.  I
don't think we need any (more) regulations.  However, we all know that
the majority of fees will go to administration and then only token
safety programs would be offered.

I also don't want a big "dorky looking" hull number on the bow of my
boat.  A little sticker, perhaps, but no big ugly number.
