It is the same for Utah. I see nothing wrong with practicing Coast Guard rules even.
A little orange is good on heavy traveled waters. Remember the Lady that was struck and killed by a boat at Pineveiw in broad daylight.
I carry a whistle, compass, rope for towing if needed and always a PFD.
I agree with Tube Dude that the Licensing Department really doesn't understand the float tubes and even the pontoons to this day, and I have been licensing mine for at least 15 years.
This last licensing was really no easier (even with the paper work) than that Caddis donut and Float power.
I have no idea why they must make up the law as it goes. This is nothing new and getting more and more popular. Time to set down some concrete UNIVERSAL rules for these things in my opinion.
Now as far as licensing...$37.??????? Really? This is very excessive in my opinion. These are NOT boats. You run into someone I seriously doubt you will cause much damage.
