If you have been driving a boat successfully for years, no. Also, that depends a lot on the particular body of water you will be boating on.

I can tell you know, if you have driven boats on a small lake, you will probably have some trouble in crowded coastal waterways. I have been boating all my life on the south shore of Long Island. On a sunday, the channels get INSANELY crowded to the point where it is like navigating a highway with no lanes. I am sure the river/lake in buffalo can get just as bad.

I said roaps? Wow. Too much nyspeed makes Fry something something…

Anyhow, what license?

Legal Requirements - Persons Required to Complete a Safety Course

You must hold a safety certificate if:

You operate a personal watercraft and are at least 14 years of age. Until 2009 operators age 10-13 can still operate with restrictions. Click on Navigation Law updates for complete information.
You wish to operate a motorboat (other than a personal watercraft) and you are at least 10 years old and less than 18 years old.
If you are less than 10 years old you may operate a motorboat (non-PWC) only if someone over 18 or someone between the ages of 10 and 18 who holds a safety certificate, is on board with you. Anyone may operate a personal watercraft if someone at least 18 years old is riding on the craft and they hold a safety certificate.

dude sick boat!

now all you have to do is float by old man rivers blasting 1984!

edit: now that i see were talking about boaters courses…

there’s a 10hr one day pwc + boaters course at the coast guard, very good…

but i don’t think you need a boaters license if you have a valid drivers license

She has a camp up on the chain lakes in the ADKS. Old Forge to be specific. Pretty large, open areas…

65

yeah, you don’t NEED it, but it is a really good idea

66

Lance can verify, I have my license.

67

I am sure those Adirondacks lakes can get pretty busy. Like I said though, you don’t need it. There is some good info though. It is never a bad idea.

68

Pretty sure they changed that law a couple years ago… Someone find out or chime in.

69

Insurance discount too. Just because big brother doesn’t say I have to doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea.

70

not according to Fry’s information

like I said, it’s never a bad idea. The River is bound to be a busy waterway too, I would recommend it for you.

71

You don’t need a boater’s license. I already posted the link fucko. :spank: :lol: :roflpicard: I’m way overtired.

72

I somehow missed that post. Maybe they were talking about it and it hasn’t happened yet.

Hmmm… I’m loosing my mind.

73

:tup:

And nice job taking our advice and avoiding the jetboat scene.

74

the law they changed was you need a license to ride a jetski now regardless of age. doesn’t apply to boats. Except maybe the jetboat you almost got.

75

Yep, I remember hearing that.

76

Which is also in Fry’s post. But yeah, that was a recent change.

77

Word. Thanks for the advice NYSpeed. It paid off. Doubled my fucking budget, but now I have a boat that can fit myself and 14 boobies without too much cramming.

78

That’s what it was. Thanks Joe.

I was gonna say all this time I’ve scanning the water for THE LAW while my idiot friends fuck around on my Jetski. Lol.

How did I NOT see Fry’s post.

79

Just like with a car, it’s about being alert and aware at all times. Stupid drunk assholes on their rental boat for the first time are the major problems.

80

why can I see 2 boobies and 12 man boobies
