Most boat owners don't know that Minnesota law puts a clock on a sunken boat. Here's exactly what's required, and how Aqua-Tow helps you meet every deadline.
Report the date and what happened to the sheriff's office in the county where the lake or river is located.
The boat must be out of the water within 30 days of sinking or being discovered.
The local government can require removal sooner, in writing. Only the government can request an extension.
The boat's registered owner. The one exception is if the boat was used without the owner's knowledge.
If the boat isn't removed in time, the local government can remove it and charge the owner 2 to 5 times the cost of removal. Call us early.
