Boaters Saftey Course- Who on board needs it?

[indytrailmike]

Same here in Illinois. Nothing is needed unless you are under the age of 17 and want to operate the boat...

Then again there isn't many lakes or rivers in IL. Just a few...

I think its worth it plus you get money off on your insurance if you have a certificate stating you did the course!

1/1/16 things changed, anyone born on or after 1/1/98 must have a valid Boaters Safety Certificate.

Teaching your wife how to land a boat is like teaching your children how to drive but the dints in the boat are bigger than the ones in the car. My wife hired a captain to teach her how to land the boat. Good investment.

My wife still hasn't mastered driving, and she took lessons to get her license long before I met her. At least that's what she tells us...........
She can barely ride a bicycle.
I taught both our kids how to drive. Neither of them wanted any part of mom teaching them nor do any of us want her to drive if one of us is in the car with her.
She knows her limitations. That's why she doesn't want to take the helm.

Good thing I don't have any kids that I know of or pay for yet! :smt043
