The late summer hot weather is sure to bring out boaters. But before you hit the water make sure to have the proper decals on your boat.
Montana requires two decals for sailboats 12 feet and longer and all motorboats and personal watercraft.
The two decals are a gold permanent decal and a green validation decal.
The permanent decal is good as long as you own the boat. To obtain a permanent decal go to your county treasurer and pay a one-time fee. The permanent decal goes on the boat's left side behind the identification numbers.
Validation decals are free. They are good from Feb. 29, 2008 till Feb. 28, 2011.
New boat owners can receive a validation decal from their county treasurer when registering a new boat. Current boat owners can obtain a validation decal from any FWP office or on-line at http://fwp.mt.gov/hunting/licensedraw/boat_decals.aspx
Each boat will get two validation decals. Display one validation decal on each side of the boat's bow behind the identification numbers.
