OHIO CANOE AND KAYAK OWNERS ARE AGAIN OFFERED : OH

COLUMBUS, OH - Owners of watercraft such as canoes, kayaks, racing
shells and inflatable boats can obtain an optional tag this year when
renewing their watercraft registration, according to the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources (ODNR).
"For the first time last year, we began offering a substitute
registration decal for owners of hand-powered watercraft," said Bill
McGarrity, deputy chief of the ODNR Division of Watercraft. "This was in
response to boaters seeking an alternative to the traditional number
display."
These new registration decals for hand-powered watercraft are only
available through the Division of Watercraft administrative headquarters at
Fountain Square in north Columbus. The smaller-sized decal costs $20 and
must be displayed on one of the following places: the upper right corner of
the transom; on a portion of the rear deck; outside the boat below the port
side gunnel; or on the inside of the boat just below the starboard side
gunnel.
Owners choosing to remain with the traditional Ohio-shaped
registration sticker will continue to pay a $15 fee to obtain two
registration tags which must be displayed on the exterior forward hull of
the boat along with the Ohio registration numbers.
Boats without a hull identification number are required to obtain
one before owners can register their watercraft. Watercraft registration
renewals also can be made conveniently online through the ODNR web page at
ohiodnr.com
For information about boat registration renewals, call toll free at
877-4BOATER (877-426-2837).
