Boat owners who plan on using their boat on the Willamette River between river mile 30 and 50 to wakeboard or wakesurf are required to
apply for the Towed Watersports boat decal.
Only one registered owner of a boat is required to apply for the decal. If you are engaged in towed watersports that are not wakeboarding or wakesurfing, there is no decal requirement at this time.
In order to qualify for the Towed Watersports Boat Decal, you must provide the Marine Board
an application that includes:
- Make, model, and year
- Dry Weight as reported by the manufacturer
- Maximum Ballast Weight as reported by the manufacturer.
The rules for this program specify that the "Maximum Loading Weight" which is the combined dry and ballast weight, must not exceed 10,000 lbs in order to receive the decals.
Boats larger than 10,000 lbs. are not eligible for the program and cannot operate for the purposes of wakeboarding or wakesurfing on the Newberg Pool. These boats may still cruise or engage in other activities along this section of river.
Once your application has been approved, you will receive your decals by mail. Apply decals to the back half of the boat on both the starboard and port sides.
