Correct me if i'm wrong but as long as someone inside the vessel has a boat license anyone can operate the boat Yes but I think this only applies if you're drunk or stupid.

Dang, in Florida anything less than 10hp doesn't require the boaters education course. What damage can someone cause with a trolling motor? you could gently bump into someone else, causing them to spill their beer coke

Even better, the boating license test has a bunch of BS oceanic/big water stuff in it that don't make a hill-of-beans difference to a fresh water brim fisherman. I mean, ya, I *REALLY* need to know what all those flags & buoys mean if I'm going out on Binion Creek -- whoa nelly! Never know when I might get lost & dump out into the Gulf accidentally.

If you are in sure enough "big water" there ain't no more buoys and flags. It stops 10 miles offshore. It's hard to set buoy pilings in 1k'+ of water.

I guess you think the state should come up with a test specific for the body of water that you're going to use rather than having a test that covers all the water in the state? I thought we were for more streamlined, efficient government around here.

Yall think the state boating test is hard? Try getting a 100ton liscense. You get to learn about navigating with stars... Who said it was hard? I flipped through the booklet for about 5 minutes and didn't miss a question. I'm guessing most people probably do the same.

A friend of mine has the 100 ton license. The law in Alabama came up where you have to pay $5 and take the test for a boating license. He complained, saying the Coast Guard gave him the right to operate a boat in navigable waterways in the US. He complained several times. Finally, the License Commissioner at the time ruled on it and said he didn't have to take the test. He still had to pay $5 dollars. On principle, he called his state representative. His state representative wasn't in office when this law took effect, so he said he'd check into it. A week later, he called my friend and told him he'd checked into it. The reps that were in office at the time saw a statistic of how many boaters there were in Alabama. They reasoned if every boater in Alabama payed a small fee, $5 for example, how many hundreds of thousands extra there would be in state coffers with little to no fuss. They made it happen. His rep told him although it was sold as a safety issue, it was really about revenue. Think about this next time a state official wants to raise a license fee.
