  Watercraft Safety
Watercraft today is lighter and faster which can lead to serious injury and destruction of property if not treated with proper respect and maintenance.
The operator of any watercraft must operate at a reasonable and prudent speed for existing conditions and regulate the speed of a watercraft so as to avoid danger, injury or unnecessary inconvenience in any manner to other watercraft and their occupants, whether anchored or under way.
A person is guilty of imprudent operation of a watercraft if that person, while operating a watercraft on the inland or coastal waters of the State, engages in prolonged circling, informal racing, wake jumping or other types of continued and repeated activities that harass another person.

 SOS - Watercraft
If you own a moped, watercraft, or a snowmobile, you must register it with the Department of State (unless it is exempt) and display a registration decal.  Once a registration number has been assigned, it cannot be transferred to another moped, watercraft, or snowmobile.
If the watercraft is not titled, simply complete the back of your watercraft registration.  If you have lost the registration, then a complete bill of sale with the year, make, hull identification number, registration number (if available), and the names and addresses of the buyer and seller may be used to transfer ownership.
If the new owner does not want a title and the watercraft does not need a title to list a lien (bank loan), the previous owner’s title is surrendered when the buyer transfers the registration into their name.  The Secretary of State Branch Office will arrange to have the previous title cancelled.

 Watercraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is derived from the term "craft" which was used as term to describe all types of water going vessels.
Most watercraft would be described as either a ship or a boat.
However, there are a number of craft which many people would consider neither a ship nor a boat, such as: canoes, kayaks, rafts, barges, catamarans, hydrofoils, windsurfers, surfboards (when used as a paddle board), underwater robots, torpedos and jet skis.

 Personal water craft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A personal water craft (PWC), or sea scooter, is a recreational watercraft that the rider sits or stands on, rather than inside of, as in a boat.
Some personal watercraft carry as many as four passengers, contain up to 215 hp (160 kW) engines, reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour (113 kilometers per hour), carry 25 U.S. gallons (95 liters) of fuel, and feature amenities such as sun pads and extra padded cruising seats.
Against this, industry groups such as the Personal Watercraft Industry Association point out that environmental groups continue to cite pollution levels of pre-regulation watercraft and ignore the improvements made to newer models; and furthermore, that personal watercraft are unfairly singled out when they are no more polluting than other powered boats.

 Army Watercraft
Army Watercraft provide the foundation for theater opening and reception of Army and joint forces committed in advancing the national military strategy and are an integral part of Force XXI for projecting and sustaining combat power.
Terminal operations and water transport, which includes strategic sealift and the logistic support provided by Army watercraft, are essential to projecting and sustaining forces engaged in a range of military opera-tions worldwide.
While strategic sealift delivers over 95 percent of the tonnage required by operating military forces, Army watercraft become the critical link when that tonnage is projected over the shore, through fixed ports not accessible to deep-draft vessels, or through fixed ports not adequate without the use of watercraft (all classified as LOTS operations).
