The boater will pay the fee which could be used for dock maintenance, buy groceries in town and go the the local eating establishment and SPEND MONEY locally.
The local cops can keep an eye on the crowd and, if they want to have a couple of grogs in the evening they can do so without getting underway.
Just my $.02.

My guess: water quality. The state is worried about people discharging stuff overnight or living aboard transient boats. Personally, I'm not a fan of overnighting via boat on the lake.
