ULTIMATE BASS "THREAD OF HONOR"

[imp81318]

I took the PA Boating Safety Course, with a real instructor and everything (back in the days before internet courses were rampid) in August of 1995. I was 13 then, but still carry the laminated certificate in my wallet. Hey, you never know when you might jump on a PWC, and the dertificates are required for them here.

Took boaters safety Course growing up in Wisconsin on the Mississippi (my best friend's father owned a marina and insisted we take it), took another one in San Diego when I joined the Navy, took a Rules of the road for the high seas course, and completed my Navy Enlisted Surface Warfare designation which also includes ship handling and rules.

I took a boaters' safety course at the sherrif's dept when I turned 13. Do I have to say when that was? Oh, ok. It was 1984. It was through the State of Michigan DNR.

I took one from the Coast Guard back in 1995 and will be taking another soon with all the members of my club.

I completed a boaters safety course for the State of NH 2005!!!!!

NH mandates anyone operating a motor boat must now take the course and being on the lake within the last few years it seems to have made a difference - that and the presence of more Marine Patrol LOL

Thanks Spetro for the link to the boating safety course web site. I took a safety course in the mid 70's. Wanted to refresh myself on some of the regs. Took the practice test many times and my best score was 72 out of 75. Took the exam and got 75 out of 75  . Thanks again for the info.

Spetro, I got mine for New Hampshire 2 years ago but the trip didn't work out.  Anyway, I took it, got it, and still have it

Me, my ex, and my son took a course back in 2002 when we got our first bass boat.

Just finished the Florida course on boat-ed.  Got a 74 of 75 correct on the exam.  Expect the certification card in the mail in 2-3 weeks.

I took the USCG course a few years ago. I drive the 13 1/2' X 40' tour boat for the company tours on weekends. We carry anywhere from 20-50 people on it, so they made some of us get certified.

Last saturday me and my oldest boy 14 spent the day taking the safe boaters coarse and both passed.  I learned some new things and it was good for him as he needs it to be safe and run the boat.  It was $5 bucks a pcs and if he or I retain anything that helps us one day on the water or someone else it was well worth it. 

I will get to take the class 3 more times as i still have the 10yr old, 7yr,old boy's and the 5yr old girl that will need it.
