I was recently asked about the new boating regulation changes and how the
changes would affect the average weekend warrior operating on the waterways around U.S and Canada.Although I really didn’t feel I knew the full answer to what the new rules were,
I set out to find some of the answers.
It seemed that it was not going to be a quick and easy answer to my quest.There were regulations changing everywhere.In the U.S. it would depend on the state that you were
in to follow the change that had already taken place or was going to take place.Canada
had also set its own standard to be followed and by September 2009 full licensing will be required.
I found the following information on the
website of www.boaterexam.comand it was extremely helpful.I also found that the site itself was also very user friendly.I
would highly recommend that you investigate your own country or state regulations through BoaterExam.
