Is there any boating courses out there that a person can take to teach you
how to manuever a boat ? Kinda like a car driving school but one for boats
? Just curious.

You can read it in a book, you can be taught it in a class but, you won't
really understand it until you are at the controls of a boat on the water
being exposed to wind, waves, current and a screaming wife.

Most often, in my experience, it's a husband who will do the
screaming. In there defense, they're also usually the one who has all
the responsibilty for handling the boat, and in the screamers case,
they're usually not up to the task.

If she's married to you....no wonder she screams!

Find a boating friend to take you out and show you the ropes. If you don't
have a boating friend, ask the local dealer to find someone who will take
you out for a reasonable fee to teach you the ropes. In either case you're
way ahead of the game with plenty of things left to learn from future
experiences.
