I am very skeptical of this remark. While the Boater Safety course is easy to point at, to really quantify that the safe boater course is the cause of the accident reduction is another thing entirely.
Many things are playing a role, the economy, few people with disposable income, means fewer people boating... Weather..... all play a role in this.... I am not saying that this is a false statement. I am just saying that something behind the statement needs to back it up.... I think that the Safe Boater Certificate is still flawed. It certainly better now that you have to take a proctored exam. However it still leaves a lot to be desired.....
