My 19 year old daughter called me from Wisconsin yesterday with a attitude! Besides the attitude that a lot of girls her age have these days, she had been pulled over by the water patrol while driving the Sea-doo. Evidently when I put on the registration numbers 5 years ago, I made a mistake and put in a "M" where there should have been a "N". It must have been before I got my new glasses! Well anyway she has told me that the citation is $175 and I'm finding this hard to believe that it's that much for having the letter mix up. We did have the registration card in the Sea-doo and the officer did call it in to confirm the information. I somehow feel I'm not getting the full story from my daughter. The citation is being mailed so I'll have to wait to see what it says. In the meantime, it is of coarse all MY fault! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Pete,
Seems kind of picky to get a big dollar ticket for having a letter off. One of the lakes we frequent boats over 25' register through the US Coast Guard (I think it is actually figured on displacement). They then don't register through the state of Missouri. I've never had a boat that big, but probably there is a big savings to do that. And yes, children are always right.

Pete, I've been told that the Wisconsin water sheriffs are directed to have a zero tolerance mentality, regardless how loudly common sense screams. If there was anything more to the story, I'm sure she would have multiple tickets.
I fought a silly too close to pier fine 2 years ago. The Green Lake DA gave me a suspended sentence after I sent in my arguments. You should do the same, especially for $175 for a honest mistake. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

| The dnr around our parts isnt tolerant of offences at all. I was jumping the wakes behind dads boat to close one day on my aunts jetski and the guy was going to give my a 200 doller or so ticket but my dad came over there and actually had talked to this guy before and got me out of a ticket. I didnt know the dude was chasing me for like 10 minutes because his boat was so slow haha. |

Well it's been 3 weeks now and still no citation in the mail. When I was up north last week and talking to a few people I found out that the new police officer on or water patrol likes to pull over pretty young blond girls. Can you believe a officer of the law would do that?? The only good thing is that it doen't seem at this point that a citation was issued. My daughter also said that when he pulled her over that she did not get a copy of the citation which seemed odd. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Pete,
Don't worry about the blonde thing up in GL.. There is a new recruit on board the DNR boat now and it's a "she".. They pulled us over right off the main ramp at GL last weekend.. Routine check and to hand out ice cream coupons to my girls for wearing their life vests... There's only one boat out there, and a lot of water to cover. Most likely you won't see them, but it you are screwing around etc, they'll find you... Flotation, fire equipment, registration...

Pete..... you may not want too,
Do you guys in other states have documented boat? I dont know the exact reason but it allows you not to have registration numbers on the boat but you do have to run a permanent placard in the engine room with the numbers on them ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

Well, I did finally found out last week that my daughter for being to close to another boat and I for the goofed up registration letter were not issued a citation. I guess the pulling over of young blond girls theory was the problem!!
Eric, Wis. only requires the registration numbers on the hull sides and then the registration card to be carried on the boat. They also hve just started to require and issue titles for all boats and not just a registration. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Eric......In GA you've got the standard Registration #'s on the side, Registration card that the DNR provides with the 3 year decal must be aboard the boat and ANY driver must have a drivers license on their person. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.
