Boat owners who plan on using their boat on the Willamette River between river mile 26.6 and 55 to participate in towed watersports are required to
apply for the Towed Watersports boat decal.
Only one registered owner of a boat is required to apply for the decal.
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 and boat length
- 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 5,500 lbs in order to receive the decals.
Boats larger than 5,500 lbs. are not eligible for the program and cannot operate for the purposes of towed watersports on the Newberg Pool. These boats may still cruise or engage in other activities along this section of the river.
Once your application has been approved, you will receive your decals by mail. Apply decals to the front half of the boat on both the starboard and port sides in the manner specified on the information that comes with the decal.
