Boating regulations vary by state, and there are also local regulations put in place to help protect people on the water as well as the water itself. Before you go out boating, make sure you know your local boating regulations. Here are a few tips to make your boating experience safe, legal, and fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What kind of boat can you own?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While you can own most boats, there are regulations about what kinds of boats you can own or store in certain areas. After all, it is not safe or practical for a family to own a military-grade submarine in the suburbs. Be sure to check these regulations before you purchase your boat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where can you go boating?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are also regulations for where you can boat based on the size of the body of water as well as the size and power of your boat. Knowing these regulations will ensure that your boating is safe for others in the water. Be sure you know where you can go before you take your boat out on the water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What boating insurance do you need?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since a boat is a vehicle, it requires insurance to protect the boat as well as you and your passengers. Like where you can go boating, the level of insurance you need is dependent on the type of boat you have and where you take it boating. An insurance agent can help make sure you have the insurance you need.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about boating insurance in Oregon, contact your local Oliver Insurance agent today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boats are vehicles, so they must adhere to specific regulations just like any other vehicle.
