Invasive Sticker

[up2nogood]

Being from out of state I need the invasive sticker, my question is, does it matter where I display the sticker ? My preference would be on the back of the seat on my pontoon boat. I have read the regulations for requirements for the invasive sticker, but I didn't see anywhere a certain location for it. Thanks

Pretty sure it's front left (port) side, cuz my first I put on the starboard side - then read I was wrong, but don't recall where I read that. By your vessel id...

but I could be wrong.

Q. Where do I place the sticker on my boat?

A. For registered boats, your valid Idaho Registration Sticker servers as your contribution to the IISF fund and you do not need a seperate sticker. For canoes, kayaks and other small rigid boats, the sticker can be placed near the bow of the boat above the waterline on the port (left) side, or on top of the vessel if there is little or no waterline.

Q. Where do the stickers get attached on nonrigid boats such as inflatable rafts?

A. You may want to put a backing of some type on the sticker to prevent it from tearing. You may also want to consider having the sticker laminated into a hang tag or attaching the sticker to a sturdy placard before attaching it to the vessel with a zip tie.

Remember if it's under 10 ft and non motorized inflatable it's exempt from the sticker.

As sitting in the boat it goes after the number / month / state sticker on the left side.
Another good reason to make a plate for you licensing.

Thanks, I too just now found that link, I will just laminate it ,and attach to the front part of the frame on the left side. Makes sense to have a standard place to be viewed.

I assume you are talking a registered boat in Idaho ? I am a Utah resident, and would think I do not need to display my Utah registration in Idaho , but I do need to display the invasive sticker on the left side, is that correct. I would prefer to keep the two separate. I have a plate for my Utah registration.

If you have a motor you need the numbers no matter where you are. Think like a regular boat. I too am Utah but I need that license plate for a motor even in Idaho.
I incorperated the sticker to my Pontoon plates as well as my aluminum boat.

Would you take your Utah plates off you car to drive in Idaho? A bit extreme I know, but just saying the licensing is for the motorand it needs to be displayed in any other state. Specially Montana[cool]

I knew about Montana, but had brain lock on the Utah plate in Idaho. I need to make new plates anyway ( one side broke off, don't ask how ) Had to buy new Utah replacement sticker,and the month expiration sticker, only good thing was it was only 7 dollars for the replacements, I thought it might cost me another 38.00. On the right track now. I will save room on the left side plate to put on the Idaho Invasive sticker. I may get to Daniels this weekend, and need to get this right. Thanks

They need to put the fee for the sticker in the price of the fishing license and forget the sticker! [] Just one more thing you got to do.

Only problem with that is - what about folks that buy a license, but don't have a boat or motored float? They get stuck with a fee they don't need, and not accountable too. yeah it'd be possible to carry muscles in your tackle, but not ANYwhere near the potential with a boat or float.

So - I land my boat. I dry it out. THEN it rains, and gets wet. So when I go to a checkpoint with soaked ropes or what have you - is it an issue? (seems to keep happening, danged spring!)

Guess I'll just have to find out. Never been to "infested" waters, so. . ..

Because they can bring it in as easy as a boat. The soles of their shoes, shoe laces. The water toys...I agree, it should be included in the licenses, but maybe like $5. instead of $20. Why do they think a pontoon or float tube with a motor is more susceptible than non motorized

I agree FG, they should be the same, anything that gets in or near the water should be paying the same fee! they can be transported on a motorized, non-motorized, it don't matter. just like the registration on your pontoon with an electric motor. I thought the fee was for the emissions that a gas motor puts out. and stuff like that. maybe I'm wrong! Motorized used to be gas motors not electric. Mo Money! Mo money!

I don't mind if the money does go for research and not so much trying to keepit out as I am thinking it will eventually happen, but find a cure for when it does.

I have two motorized pontoons and a boat. I must have that sticker for each one, yet I can only use one at a time. That is why I wish it were included in the price of the licenses.

I think Utah has the better idea on these invasive species protection. I learned a lot about it by taking the class rather than paying my fee and maybe having my boat looked at once a year. With the class I know the why of it so I help prevent it. But I know it doesn't make the state any money that way. Sorry if I don't shed a tear for that after all the other fees I'm already paying.
