Summer reminder for boaters and water recreators: owners of motorboats, sailboats or personal watercraft should be sporting the free 2011-2014 orange validation decals for their watercraft.

Boaters who have permanently registered their boats, sailboats, or PWC must still obtain two free boat validation decals every three years at FWP regional and area offices, or by going to the FWP website at fwp.mt.gov at Boat Validation Decals.

For more information, go to the FWP Montana Boating Laws web page, or contact FWP at 406-444-2535.
