Insurance premiums...yah it's theft and it's legal Sucks eh? I was turned down for a "course discount" because I was already getting a "no accident" discount. Five years later I asked again and they (Boat/US) gave me the discount, including 5 years of retroactive discount, saying the original refusal had been a mistake! |

Is that the one where they send you a card for passing. I took the test and passed. Have to check if I'm getting any discount. Scotty |
I got a regular 8.5x11 certificate from the Boat/US course.

here is floridas operator course:
http://www.boatsafe.com/Florida/ As I understand it, its an introduction for newbees and a required review for those ticketed in vessel operation offenses. consider it the marine equivolent to the safe driving course one can take to keep points off ones drivers license if one gets a vehicle moving violation...... I am not even sure there is a charge for the card, it was created in response to kids getting hurt on jetskis....... "Gordon" ... Washington state wants to institute a revamped law to require boating drivers licenses. To those in states who have such laws, what are the pros and cons of your system and does it prevent accidents etc or is it just another red tape gizmo to collect money for the state? Thanks in advance Gordon |

Not sure about in the middle of the country but I don't think due process counts when the USCG teams or customs inspectors board. Sure it does. They can inspect your boat without a warrant. But you are still entitled to due process if they accuse you of anything. "Curtis CCR" wrote in message om... "Gordon" wrote in message . ..

Thanks in advance Gordon Do you have a right to go boating? If you need a license, the government is changing it from a right to privilege. As soon as you start licensing some activity as a privilege, a lot of due process protections may go out the window. |
Curtis,
Which means they read you your rights. Then arrest you if they find something illegal. Paul "Curtis CCR" wrote in message om... "Michael" wrote in message ...
