I don't carry my wallet (which has my DL) with me when I am on my Sea Doo PWC. Obvious reasons, don't want to lose it, and no need to carry it since it is not required in the state of NH. If I do get pulled over and asked to show proof of identity, MP is going to have to follow me back to the ramp, however far away that might be, and wait for me to tie up (or beach my PWC), walk up to my truck and grab my wallet.

I suspect that unless I have committed a serious infraction, they will take my word for it.

And before you ask, yes I keep my boating certificate with the registration for the PWC in a secure location on board.
