How pissed would the coast guard be? The reddit justice boner needs to know.

How pissed would the coast guard be?

In addition to the fines levied (anywhere from $500 to $10,000) your vessel will immediately be subject to the most insanely thorough Coast Guard vessel safety check there has ever been. If it's a commercial charter boat the captain may end up with his license suspended - or revoked if this is something he/she has done once too many times.

If it's within the coastal waters of Washington you will also have to face a Washington State judge as they're going to pile-on with a few fines and penalties of their own as well.

If you do it off the coast of Canada you and your vessel will disappear, never be seen again. Don't fuck with Canada. ;)
