why ????????

Here's my question. Why doesn't the state mandate that all boat owners and/or operators have a license to operate a boat.

AGREE 100%. A moron on a 100 cc/300 pound motorcyle needs a license, but a guy running a 200hp, 70 mph, 2500 pound boat doesn't? What state congressional genius came up with that? And take the same moron on the motorcycle and compare him to the half-wit on a jet ski. Darn near the same vehicle weights, and motor sizes........Hey Frankfurt......WAKE UP!

And at least the motorcycle has brakes!!! I watched a girl at Taylorsville plow into a nice party boat by the ramp and right before she hit him, she was hollering "where's the brakes!!!". Turns out her boyfriend had her pull it over to the dock while he pulled the truck up and she had never been on one before. Takes all kinds.
