Iowa charges a nominal fee every two years and funds go to the county-level DNR. Canoes and Kayaks and smaller sail boats all fall into the same category. We are required to affix registration stickers, as well as boat ID License numbers of certain height and contrasting color, so that all are visible on the bow. It uglies a boat, no question. It's not uniformly enforced, but folks have been caught in a bind when a DNR officer is on the hunt....same with PFDs, etc. On the other hand, it's still possible to have a comprehensive boat owner's policy rider on a kayak for a minimal rate....though mine requires the boat to be registered and appropriately affixed. -wj Will Jennings Lecturer, Rhetoric Department 152 English-Philosophy Building The University of Iowa Iowa City, Iowa 52242 Office: 319-335-2593 Home: 319-337-7770 william-jennnings_at_uiowa.edu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
