In an effort to educate our members on ILPOAs Rules & Regulations we are creating a monthly article where we highlight specific Rules & Regulations that we get questions about or people indicated they were not aware of. These articles are part of the focus areas with our ILPOA Security Committee. Members of the Security Committee are: Bob Dixon, Don Kalista, Jean Rohal, and Doug Bare.

Number of Watercraft/Length Limits & Boat Registration

We frequently receive questions regarding the following that is addressed by this month’s article:

• How many watercraft can I have?
• What is the maximum length of watercraft by type (i.e. runabout, pontoon, fishing boat, PWC, etc.)?
• How do I register my watercraft, do I need stickers, etc.?
• How does ILPOA enforce our Rules & Regulations?
