Bigdog,
As long as you have your boating certificate on you (i.e. in your pocket), your grandson can drive the boat while you are with him. I let my 10-year old drive my boat often and he's quite good. I stand close by and help him to watch for boat traffic. I want to make sure that when he's 16, and taking the boat out by himself, he's had a lot of boating experience under his belt. This is a great time to teach them because they are still young enough to respect the rules and scared enough not to do anything too stupid.
Good for you. What a great experience you are giving your grandson.
