dubobBut ALL of your recreational registered equipment as well as all your cars/trucks are registered separately. So, thinking that one AIS sticker will cover all water vessels doesn't fit the mold of getting ALL the money the state can through taxing and applying fees. 
Exactly, to be consistent, and as I understand it, AIS certificate is required for registered equipment.
Also, to be consistent maybe registration and AIS should be based on some evaluation of AIS risk. That is, 100k+ wakeboard boat paying same as my little fishing boat or inflatable kayak given recently seeing one wakeboard one dump megagallons of ballast before launch (from who knows where) at a local reservoir. Let's be real here.
BTW, how come all these AIS things seem to be a non-regulatory issue i the upper Mn, Wis, etc with there so many lakes and the great lakes etc?
