What's the minimum age for operating a boat in GA, (is there one?) vs
the minimum age for driving a car?

What sort of government ID does a 14 year old kid, allowed to putt
around the harbor in the family dinghy with a 20-HP motor on it,
carry?

Could be a problem for boaters too young to drive, IMO.



There are lots of people who don't have a driver's license. My mother
didn't get one until she was in her 60s ... she still has it and she
ded in 2002.


I think all states have an ID card for those people who don't drive.
