when i hear that Bruins fans, coaches, players and management are complaining about a non-call that didnt go in their favour.

Boats Card goes with the driver and at this point does not expire. PCOC card is by person driving the boat at the time you are stopped. The boat you are on .. has numbers on the front .. Below is what they are charging people .. expired, wrong address etc.. easy money if not completed correctly!! You buy a boat and forget to call and update address... Licensed pleasure craft There are no fees to license your pleasure craft. Pleasure craft licences are required for vessels used only for recreational purposes, do not carry passengers and are powered by an engine of 10 horsepower (7.5W) or more unless they are registered in the Canadian Register of Vessels. Some examples of the markings on a licensed pleasure craft are 13K123456; BC1234567, 10D123456 or QC1234567. How long is a pleasure craft licence valid for? Due to recent changes to Section 106 of the Small Vessel Regulations, pleasure craft licences are now valid for 10 years. If there are changes to your name or address in that time, you must update your licence. This information is used by law enforcement and search and rescue organizations in emergency situations. https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/oep-vesselreg-registration-menu-2311.htm#registering A really good read if you want to see the fines .. https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-96-313/page-4.html

what goes around comes around in my books.

I've never had a problem, but I keep my mouth shut lol S.

I've been using a dual beam Humminbird 160? I think. It's great but my buddy got a Striker 4 and it's much better. We could pick out bait clouds and fish arcs were much higher resolution. If you fish rentals, the Striker 4 is fine and the backtrack GPS lets you hit those drift fish and trolling fish that you find on unfamiliar water. Helix 5 is much better, i've not used it but if if it's your first unit, I would spent 200 bucks more eagerly than 500.

Too many stupid rules, made for stupid people, that affect everyone. S.

The point being made is the BOAT needs a federal licence (conditions apply, eg motor 10 hp or bigger). Since 2010, boat licences only have a ten year life span, then must be renewed. The operator of the boat needs a PCOC, which is good for life.

No. PCOC is all you need.
