I've heard you say that before, any supporting statistics or evidence?
Certainly anyone who has been boating for half a lifetime or more
should have no problem documenting sufficient hours, same for anyone
who uses their boat several times a week for 5 to 10 years.


Pray tell, how would all these boaters "document" their hours?


You keep a log. It's done on the "honor system".



Great. So in other words, nothing. That's not much different than the way
boats are sold to yahoos too dumb to operate a soup spoon.
