First offense: $60, subsequent offenses: $300 each.

Take the classroom course as it offers an experienced instructor to answer your questions, good interaction with other boaters and a hands-on approach. When you successfully complete the classroom course your certificate is honored by 35 other NASBLA states. You do want to boat in other states don't you? I rent one every time I go to FL.

The on-line course test is considered an unproctored test and may not be honored by those participating states-some will, some won't. Which ones? Don't know...

The point is: get the best-go to the class. It's only 7 1/2 hours out of your life, unless you choose to study ahead of time and it's only going to cost you $20. You only have to do it once as the certificate is good for life, unless your really bad and then it gets revoked.

That small investment could save a life, yours or someone elses. A good investment indeed.
