NC limits it to folks under 26.
In Response To: Boating safety certificate required in most states?? ()
"A person younger than 26 years old who is unaccompanied may operate a vessel with a motor of 10 horsepower or greater on North Carolina waters only if he or she completes and passes a boating safety course that is approved by NASBLA and accepted by the Wildlife Resources Commission"
Luckily I'm over 26. I do have the certification somewhere from long ago, but I sure wouldn't be able to produce it on demand.

- Boating safety certificate required in most states??
- NJ has become 'draconian' over this
- Last count I saw was 39 states required something
- Just to reduce future hassels
- I've asked this before, do they keep a record of past Power Squadron courses?
- Never heard of this...
- Oregon has required it for a few years.
- Required in Oregon. Short test, Powr Squadrn courses available.
- WHat happened in Oregon is of course too many folks with zero knowledge of the rules of the road.
- In Canada it's a national requirement that was phased in gradually.dually over the years
- NC limits it to folks under 26.
