Boaters certificate question

ABSOLUTELY WRONG AIRWAVES !!

First of all - Mass does have a mandatory Boater Ed Cert course in place and has had one long before NH.

Second - it's a class room based course with proctored exam.

Third -- If completed, it is NASBLA approved

The difference between the Mass law and other states is that it is only Required of "minors" (under the age of 18, but older than 10, as I recall) to have if operating a powercraft or PWC. It is only recommended for adults.

It is Amazing how we can turn a simple question thread into a debate!! Boggles my mind.

We're trying to clear things up. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, you know!
