Sec. 1. 12 MRSA §7791, sub-§14, as enacted by PL 1979, c. 420, §1, is
amended to read:

 
14. Watercraft. "Watercraft" means any type of vessel, boat,
canoe or craft capable of being used as a means of transportation
on water, other than a seaplane, including motors, electronic and
mechanical equipment and other machinery, whether permanently or
temporarily attached, and which are customarily used in the
operations of the watercraft. "Watercraft" does not include a
vessel, boat, canoe or craft located and intended to be
permanently docked in one location and not used as a means of
transportation on water.

governing inland fisheries and wildlife to specifically exclude
watercraft that are permanently docked in one location and are
not used as a means of transportation on water.
