All power boats operators in NY will need safety course by 2025

[Mac Attack]

I take my grandchildren  I  rather  be  up on  any  safety issues......

'nuff said!

No better reason in the world Trap.

Good for you Trapp, can't be too careful with the grandkids     I also did the BoatUS course, took the course as a kid 50+ years ago, figured a refresher was a pretty good idea    when my driver's license renews it will have the little anchor on it, couldn't be easier

I have no problem taken a refresher course since my original course in 1975 but I do have a problem with rental boats being exempt just this Sunday a Kayaker was run over on Lake George by a rental boat operator just does not make sense

Agreed!

In order to rent the boat in Florida I was required to take the course.

Same here in New Hampshire re: rental operator has to take a short course

[SeanP]

Do the illegal aliens have to take it or is their state issued drivers license enough?

The OMG maybe in NY

[SeanP]

I have mine and so do my boys but seriously......only the law abiding folks will do the course.  NJ requires it but it is a good idea anyway.

Point is, you cannot legislate common sense!!

True , I seen many people over the years that were great test takers but didn’t have a lick of common sense

With all the rules, laws, tests, etc.
