Spotted this beauty in Corky's neck of the woods quite a few years back.
We get a few picnic tables registered as boats every year. Same as any other homemade boat, register by mail or at an office and indicate the boat is homemade and the DNR assigns a HID number and all the other boat rules apply.
These in particular pose an interesting legal question. The regulations state, "Wisconsin law states that these dangerous operating practices are illegal... Operating a boat with a person riding on the bow, deck or gunwale..." Well, the seats on a boat like that could be seen as the gunwale. And I'm pretty sure there are certain safety designs that are required, like rails on a pontoon. No rails or anything like that on these.
