Completed my Basic Boating Safety Certification Course back in March of 2004.  I have also re-took the course as a refresher in June of 2008.

Late joining this thread....been away for awhile.

Completed mine years ago, Oregon requires the "Boat Oregon" course and test, there is also a card that you MUST carry, cost was $10.00 when I got mine.  Now I show it every time a Law Enforcement agent does a boat check, regardless of the state I make them look it over...figure if I show it to the right people they might get the requirement started in that state.  Don't care where I am, it should be a state law everywhere if you operate a watercraft...in my opinion, of course.  I have seen way too many people on the water doing stupid stuff that a simple course and test would have made them at least think about how dumb it was.  Like PFD's, my boat don't move unless everyone is wearing one.  I figure that at 60 odd MPH, that might be the only difference between life and death.

Just took and passed my boating safety course in Louisiana. Never had thought about a lot of the info that was included, even though I have been operating boats for a long time. Would recommend everyone taking the certification in their home state. It is well worth it!!!

I obtained my "Louisiana Boating Basics Course" certification, approved by the State of LA and the NASBLA and recognized by the US Coast Guard on June 12, 2006, when I bought my first boat.  I even have a nifty blue colored "Vehicle Operator Certification", issued by the LDWF as proof!

I took a boating safety course taught by the USCG auxiliary at Ft. Belvoir VA...wow...must have been 20 years ago...still have the books from the course!!!  I plan to go over them this week before taking delivery of my very own boat...first one I've owned.

This is great to see all these posts, it is so important to understand what is involved when operating a boat and the waters they will be operated in

I just completed and passed my boater's safety course for Washington D.C. (required for boaters in DC waters on the Potomac River). Took the course online through BoatUS website. Takes a while to complete, but pretty thorough!
