Just to clarify, because we've had a couple of people ask...we would LOVE to have anyone with performance boats participate in the event! HOWEVER...if you're planning to use a performance boat, you need to contact the Marine Police and obtain an individual permit for the day of the event.

Sorry for the confusion!

What do you call a performance boat? If someone wants to enter they have to call the MP to get a permit? What cost? How long will it be good for ? The weekend ? The day? The week ? If someone wants to stay the week can they get a permit didn't see anything in the laws that lets one do this

... I think you may have gone and confused some folks. 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.

Our apologies - we were referring to our permit, which is only for the event and does not include any waivers for boats that aren't normally allowed on the lake. Anyone coming in from out-of-town-or-state that isn't sure about the legality of their boat on Lake Martin needs to direct any questions to the Marine Police.
