If marinas that rent don't require a certificate, they're just adding to the Capt. Bonehead problem that we already have out on the lake!
I can agree with the simple logic, however in this case, if I as a boat owner am required to have a cert., then so too should the renter.

WRT the car rentals, I don't think there is an official age requirement, it is just something the agencies use to keep the kids from beating the crap out of their rental fleet.
