Years ago I learned about an old law somewhere in Europe that dealt with how full a boat could legally be filled. Previous to the law about the line, ship owners would fill a boat too full and then over-insure the ship’s cargo. Inevitably the boat would sink somewhere out to see.

Eventually they developed a law and a line was painted on all ships. Harbor people would make sure that boats were only filled full enough that the ship’s line was still above water.

What was that line, or law, called?! Thanks!

I am buying a used 14 foot Jon boat with a trolling motor. I know it needs to be registered & so does the trailer. I was looking online & read that you need a licence to oporate a power boat or jet ski on New Jersey waterways. My question is, does a trolling motor make it a power boat? Or does power mean only "gas outboard" power boat? Also do I need insurance for the boat & trailer? I was reading online & it said that I only need to bring the title for the boat & my info. It said nothing about insurance.
Thanks in advance!
