Boat inspection

[GoldSpoonGeneral]

Anyone ever thought the state should have a once a year inspection on boats and the people that are operating them Like any thing above a 50 hp and motorized only cuase I saw some dudes with this old kriss craft style boat rigging the **** out of their motor to get it going and packing like 6cases of beer between the 4 of them and though this death trap has no place on the water

GW are pretty tough on booze nowadays-used to be they didn't do much-now they look for empty cans and imbibed operators!! I find it somewhat disheartening-affects my fishing/drinking!!

Good point one can NEVER be to safe on the water accidents on the water are always bad.The best threads are safety issues.We are responsible for our boat and all it passengers.Im no saint I use to drink lone star and wild turkey together skiing in the diversionary canal in 1979-1982 my boat flipped we were not hurt but did not get close to the sides no more to spray cows .

i mean like it would bring more revenue to TXPW and also if the game wardens do the job checking boats at the ramps then it will keep idiots and death trap boats off the water. i know everyone hates getting check ect ect but Jesus Ive seen some stupid stuff the past few times Ive been fishing. im not saying you cant drink on the water but to have a boat that has no business being put out and 6 cases of beer for 4 people obviously you have a goal of doing something extremely stupid. and yea im no saint either but i dont drink when i am on the water.

you are so right the poulation in our area has grown so much every body wants a boat and none of them are experienced just stay clear of them its all we can do but no we dont need another inspection fee we need to report unsafe drunk n stupid situations.I would rather be a tatle tall than see some one get hurt

even with out the fees just having inspections at the ramp randomly like they do for fish but just add the boat to the list.

Did someone say beer?

[GoldSpoonGeneral]

im am letting my liver recover from the past week....... me and a freind have been doing random whiskey reviews on a new brand each night... we are def slowing that **** down to like 2 or 3 times a week....and alot less drinking when we do it. But hey at least im at home and not operating a boat or car so that makes it ok lol.

I just can't bring myself to believe that more government regulation could be a good thing. Every time we allow it, something gets mucked up. We've got too much bureaucracy and regulation in this country, and it's driving us broke.
