You bring up many valid points.
There is one I'll take exception to.
Quote: "People are buying boats from manufactures that are not telling the new owners were their boats are legal and were they are not legal"
If find it very hard to believe that an indivudual has that kind of cash to pluck down on boat and hasn't taken that into consideration. When I bought my boat I can't tell you the time I put into reasearching it and it's not half the boat as some of these offshore monsters.
They knew what they were getting into, and if they didn't, well they deserve what they get.
It's all real simple, break the law, get a ticket. Period
