Boater Safety Training Effectiveness?

WeirsBeachBoater · 10-23-2007, 10:48 PM

I have an idea, but I am told it is not practical. Here goes.... Make Boating just like driving a car. It is a privilege, not a right. Phase this in, Make Children take a boating safety classroom course, and then when they are old enough to operate a boat over 25hp, make them take a "road test", or rather a practical boating test. We all agree the present test doesn't make you a better boat handler.
