A person under 16 years of age only if he or she is accompanied by a person 18 years old or older who has a valid Safe Boater Education Certificate. The accompanying person is responsible for any injury or damage caused during operation of the vessel."
My kids love driving the boat, in very safe and secure areas where there is not a lot of traffic or navigation to be done...  |
Glad I asked, I was under the impression that it was illegal for a person under the age of 16 to operate a boat with more than 25 horsepower. I stand corrected.
The kids are 11 and 14.
Looked to me like they were in Meredith Bay, not exactly quiet.
Thanks for all the advice,
Bill
