   No decal will be issued to register any boat owned by a renter of a lot as long as an owner has a permanent decal attached to any powerboat owned by such owner. No decal will be issued to register any boat owned by an owner of a lot as long as a renter of such owner’s lot has a decal attached to any powerboat owned by someone other than the owner.

   c. A determination of the BOD that ownership of a particular boat does not exist as represented will be considered as a violation of these rules and regulations.
   
3. No boat shall be registered by the Secretary of the Association, unless all dues and assessments of the Association (both past and present) have been paid in full on the lot to which the boat is registered and the owner(s) of such lot is a member of the Association in good standing. If any such owner is no longer a member of the Association in good standing, then the registration of all boats that are registered to such owner’s lot may be revoked by action of the Board of Directors of the Association and all of such boats shall be immediately removed from Grandview Lake and shall not be entitled to use Grandview Lake or any properties owned by the Association during such period of time that any owner of such boat is no longer a member of the Association in good standing.
