How many other states require it? Alabama does. I personally didn't get much from it. I learn through doing. But I do believe if people can learn by the book than they should definitely consider it.

Statewide licensing of boat operators began in all Alabama counties July 17, 1997 under the Boating Safety Reform Act. You must be at least 12 years of age to operate a motorized vessel on Alabama's waterways. You also must be licensed. A written examination is required for applicants, except those who were 40 or older on April 28, 1994, or those who have successfully completed boating courses given by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the U.S. Power Squadron or the Alabama Marine Police "Boating Basics" course. The vessel class "V" must be added to your license if you intend to operate a motorized vessel. This legislation, which also provides sanctions for drunken driving and other offenses, has been hailed as the toughest boating safety act in the country.

I didn't know that about other states having to obtain a V endorsement. We here in CA have a tough enough time getting everybody to obtain a drivers license. I couldn't imagine what a boating license requirement would do. Half the population wouldn't have a license to put the "V" on anyway

I just wish they would require people who rent boats here to have a brain....especially pontoon boats.

I'm not generally for government intervention but I do believe people should be required to get some sort of basic education with regard to operating a boat. It's not required in Mass. but I should be. We have some of the craziest drivers on the road and some of them own boats.
