I haven't given this issue much thought (and no research), but I do
have one question that I'd like to ask of everyone, and it is this:
Has anyone had a kayak impounded by USCG for not having a hull number?
(..I know of someone who knows of someone's cousin who had it happen to
them... doesn't count)
