Speedboats being registered for the first time in the current Lot Owner’s name will need to be measured at the CSCD Office during business hours. Please call the office to verify if the year, make and model of the boat is already in our database for measurement. All motorized watercraft coming into the Lake for the first time will need a current title, application for title, or certificate of origin in the current Lot Owner’s name.

A lot owner may only have 9 Total watercraft motorized and non-motorized per freehold, of which no more than 3 motorized; limit one per classification: Classification #1 speedboat,  #2 pontoon, and #3 fishing boat under 40 HP.

All motorized, non-motorized boats, and boat trailers listed above need to have lot numbers displayed. Lot numbers must be 3 inches on both sides of the boats next to the boat decals. Lot numbers must be 2 inches on one side of the boat trailers.

 

 

How the CSCD measures speedboats:

Effective per the Board of Director's Meeting 4/16/2024 the updated way to determine the length of the boat is as follows: 

The horizontal distance measured along the centerline of the boat from the bow point (excluding the rub rail) (POINT A) to the rear most point of the running part of the hull (POINT B). 
This is the rear most portion of the  boat that is in the water when on plane.  
If you are purchasing a boat please see the diagrams on our website cscd-in.org to see how the updated measuring process is performed. 
The previous pre-measured list is null, no longer in effect; if a freeholder is purchasing a speed boat (even if it has been on the lake) then it will need to be brought into the office to be measured. 
**This does not apply to boats that are currently stickered with the District to the current owners.
