The past is different from the present. The 27 footer is a towable twin fiberglass cruiser in Texas. The 47 footer is on the St John River, which leads to the coast. The 42 footer was in Daytona Beach but now is down at Fort Lauderdale.
Years ago (many) I had a Huchkins "Fairform Flyer Piscatory" 45' that became my cruising boat.
I seemed to remember something of there being a length limit for which a license is required and was wondering what it is. The topic of firearms is a completely different matter and how I dealt in the past and present on the question of whether it is legal to have a firearm on board - which is not only a question of foreign jurisdictions, but now state, local, federal park, state park and almost endless others. I'm not much for keeping up with or having regulations dictate my life and certainly not my safety. But as I explore where to cash 'em all in and go for 1 very large yacht instead, I had a question of just how long can I go as that is not a regulation I could get away with breaking.
Otherwise I don't understand the sense of a contradiction. I've been boating and yachting going on nearly 4 decades. Times change. The number of rules grow.
