Default Age limit for boating in Florida

No Age limit in Florida except for PWC (14 if you own, 18 if you
rent).... If a 5 year old can pass the ONLINE safety test, then they can
get a license and drive a 40' 100 MPH scarab...(I'm scared...).

For under 10 HP, they don't even need the card...

This would not be problem if parents actually taught their kids how to
operate the vehicles and monitored their progress but as we all know...
most don't.

This blew me away so I called Broward County Sheriff and confirmed it...

Well that gives me an answer for 10hp and above.
But, does anyone know where I can find out how
young a boater in Florida can be if operating less than 10hp?
