Silence. Idiots.

It is not really a license, it is a card hat says you took a basic course.

I think many US states do exactly the same thing.

Good thing about the lakes I tend go to, there are often enough hazards
that fools don't bother you for long.

I'd welcome SC requiring a basic boating course. It's surprising how
many boaters don't seem to know the most basic "rules of the road"
when on the water.

I've had a bass boat running about 60mph approach from my left and
pass by within 30 feet of my bow. I was traveling down the lake doing
about 30 at the time. The guys glared at me as if I'd done something
wrong. I'll bet nearly half the boaters will speed up and swing out
so they can pass in front of a boat that's to their right.
-------
Probably the same idiots that speed and pass on the left just so they can
cut you off to make the exit on the right.

Ya, like the stupid dorks that took Bass Boats out in Lake Erie in 4
to 5 footers. 3 out of 5 went down, and had to be rescued. We dont get
many of those useless pieces of scrap out in Erie. Too much lake for a
Bass Boat.
The Cops DO watch for speeding.
