Be glad you're not in Illinois. Our stickers arn't quite so huge, but we also have to have home built boats inspected by the state before they can get registered and get the stickers. Further downside is the state only checks the home built boats once a month and at a roving inspection site, can be as much as 100 miles away.
Real fun.
