What I gathered is it was a generalization. People with bigger boats like Pontoons were breaking down the fences. The law was then made when Doughnuts were the tube choice. So, the reg. reads, one must be in the water from the seat down and no oars. Meaning "your" seat not the tubes. Since the U boats do put you on top and in some cases out of the water, they do not fit that "TUBE" description enforced years ago.
So, they seriously want to rewrite it, but not sure how. That is why I pointed out, what a manufacturer calls a tube.
My question comes from the fact my float tube is a frameless pontoon and 9' long, but it weighs 28 lbs, so, yes I can lift it over a fence. I would leave the oars off, BUT I am sitting out of the water......
Working on it.
