Rather stupid, short-sighted and greedy of the SC government IMHO. It'll probably help drive a lot of the marine related businesses out of business over the long-term. If a boat is laid up getting repairs or work done, those days count against the 60/90 day limits AFAICT...so my guess would be that they'll lose a lot of business to Georgia and North Carolina....and it will spiral. As more marine related businesses fold, there will eventually be a point where they don't have enough to sustain the native boaters...and then recreational boating in SC will die off.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
