It would also be nice if they pay the F&G’s S&R costs related to paddlers.

They do seem to want to have their cake and eat it don't they. I have not had time to use my boat once this year. Under Winni's reasoning I should get a credit back for the money that I spent on registration and insurance? This would be a use tax. I think that a use tax is more appropiate then say taking my money to give to people that don't want to work.... Is 10 bucks or what ever they come up with (even 30) really that big of a deal?

As for the knowing if some one needs to be searched for or not there is a much easier way to do this. Require owners of these boats to put a name plaque on it with contact information.
