I think Tiger Comm may have gone and confused some folks in the thread below. There is no such think as a day use permit for 'performance boats' or any other boat for that matter. A boat is either legal or not. It is true that some of the 'performance boats' from before the asinine law was passed are permitted to operate on the lake, but those boats were grandfathered in and have already been inspected and sticker-ed by the MP. I can assure you those owners/operators know who they are and are well aware that they can enter any poker run on the lake throughout the season.

Maybe you were thinking of the permit that must be obtained by the event organizers to hold the poker run. As I understand it they must obtain a permit to operate the event, just as any person, organization, charity, or business must do before conducting 'business' on the lake.

I am certain that this explains things and has it clear as mud. Bottom line is, if you don't already have a sticker allowing your vessel on Lake Martin, you aint gonna get one for this event unless you go through the extensive process of acquiring the permitted use sticker that has been available since shortly after passage of the law.

If the boat is not permitted under existing law or has not been checked by our officers for compliance with promulgated regulations, then it's illegal.

I haven't kept up with it because we are running Lanier that weekend! Scheduled to be the largest poker run in the nation, and for a third the entry fee! Good luck to all participants on lake Martin!

Why would they do that - they still have land to sell to Georgia residents. Now if you could help them do that, they would request the boat ban be thrown out so Russell could sell more boats and mooring.
