16 FEET? In Minnesota, the owner of anything over *9* feet or powered has to pay a fee and plaster stickers on the hull -- including 3" numbers in the case of powered, which I think includes even very slow vessels, say a canoe with a trolling motor. (I've mused before that the very explicit instructions on the back, on just exactly where and how to put that sticker, on a sub, would make them be underwater all the time...)

(I know about the 9 feet because I have a sailboat that's like 8 1/2 feet...)
