Licensing is somewhat in place. A boater safety course and certification is
required after conviction of either a criminal violation (accident with over
$500 property damage and or injuries/death) or conviction of two safety
violations. FWIW All past attempts to require liability insurance or to
tighten up the boater licensing laws is strongly opposed by the marine
industries association. Personally I would like to see BUI convictions
linked to the drivers FLDL.

Sound like the ICW here in South FLA. The common thought on the ICW here

you get run over." This is one of the reasons I avoid if at all possible
that suicidal waterway.

I posted here a few days ago about the death trap known as the Parker

Perhaps the licensing of boat drivers and the connecting of boat and car
insurance might help. Get nailed for reckless boating and your car
insurance rates double...
