Jet Skis in Coves

Aquadeziac · 08-05-2004, 08:06 PM

Am I the only one with an orange sticker on my (3 seater)PWC that in essence in the eyes of the State classifies my unit as a "boat" and not a ski-craft? SIKSUKER is correct, "ski-craft" though a general term, refers to one and two passenger PWCs. 3+ seater PWCs are, for all intents and purposes in the eyes of the State "boat" and are governed by the laws for "boats" not by the laws for "ski-craft".

Hey aquaman,it was nice meeting you a few weeks back.I have never gotten the sticker for my pwc only cuz I wasn't worried about being harrased for being on a body of water that banned "skicraft".I only use mine at Winni so I didn't see the need. SS

hey aquadiziac, where can i get one of those stickers. i've heard about them, so far never needed one, but it wouldn't hurt to have one just in case

You have to go to the Dept of Motor Vehicles to get a sticker, and you have to apply in writing. Of course they have no official form, so you have to basically write a letter pleading for them to allow you to have one of their precious stickers. I tried to get one last year, but since I didn't have my registration with me, they wouldn't even let me submit the letter. It is a waste of time if you ask me, but it may help you avoid a run-in with MP at some point.

When i registered my ski a few years ago, they told me a Parker Marine that i need to have the sticker because it was a three seater. So at that time i recieved it. Had to pay something the one time, but no charge after that....yet! There is no year on the orange sticker.

Mine was on my ski when I bought it. But I went to Dept of Safety and asked about having to replace it in the event of refinishing my cowl. They said that they could be replaced by taking your registration to Dept of Safety and filling out a form. Basically they are one time issue (no year date), and it helps Marine Patrol tell from a distance if they are looking at a two or three passenger PWC.
