Let me start off by saying that I support this program and have had my card since day 1 (got mine back in 2005). But recently the 6 year old card has started to take a beating and now has broken into two pieces.
I emailed the BoatersExam people to ask for a replacement card.. and guess what, they want $19.99 to replace my card. or $29.99 for 3.
There has been many a rumbling that the boater exam was a cash grab, and they always responded that "oh no, this is a one time fee" but now to charge nearly $20 to replace a card. thats a cach grab. I had no issues paying for my exam and card up front, and hell if I constantly lost cards i would have no issue being charged, but to damage one card in 6 years, and then be asked to pay $19 to replace it.. brutal
