It is a fair statute to help monitor derelict boats and help law enforcement be proactively engaged. Derelict boats are a hazard to responsible boaters and the environment.
I think this definition would have resulted in the SS United States being declared "derelict" after it stopped providing passenger service.

Ah yes the “free” state of Florida with yet another tax via permit
It wii be free, at least in the beginning. They have us in a database however.

Soon enough to be a tax. Just like living near an airport. I’d you don’t like boats you shouldn’t have bought on the water
