not welcome in NC

I dont have to worry about the weight thing, because I sold my f350 dually to buy my boat but what a pain in the butt for my pick-up brethren.
The state of NC already hassles us to title and buy a license plate so we can pull our boats, now they are targeting us for widths and weight. It would be simple if I wasnt living in NC. It tells fishermen and boaters from other states that they are not welcome and not to come to NC.
Maybe our neighboring states will be glad to receive their sporting excursion dollars!

PS- I just emailed about 15 representatives on the transportation committee and in thehouse and senate to let them know how I felt on the issue and linked to the NC sportsman article! I also told them if changes were not made I would take every opportunity to fish in SC instead of NC.
