I also filled it out, but also expressed concern of how the funds would be used.
I also agree with Billy, this is not going well for tourism in the state.
They seem to be nailing fees everywhere on small boaters both in state and out.
First it was the fee for kayaks and canoes. Just seems to be growing now.

I do a some of my boating down on Cape Cod, I would have expected Mass. to do things like this to both out of state and in state vacationers, but they don't.
I pay nothing to them to boat there, in most towns on the Cape not even launch or parking fees to launch. And small fees for places that do charge. ( $5.00 in Yarmouth, launch and park all day to the next morning if you need to)

Not that ten bucks is going to kill anyone from MA from coming up, but it sure doesn't help.

Edit: Looking at the fines in this bill: Sounds like the old speed traps traveling down south with a Yankee plate, pay me now and it's cheaper.
