Carrington Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Wow, just finnished a class that was put on by the USCG. I learned so much and also how dangerous boating really can be if you are not well educated in different scenarios. But i would highly recommend everyone to take some sort of boating class before you operate it again. Also there are alot of laws that you would probably never think of that they can ding you with fines for. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted March 1, 2010 Super User Posted March 1, 2010 Great, Carrington. Was that class for the required certification that all Virginia boat operators have to posses at some point? Quote
Carrington Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 yes, i am now legally registered to drive a boat. from my understanding if you are 35 or younger you must have this class by next year. Also everybody must have the class by 2014 i believe. The class has taught me how to truly be safe and have fun. Now i have to buy all the safety equipment though > since its required by laws that i did not know. but its for the good in the long run. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted March 2, 2010 Super User Posted March 2, 2010 Congratulations! The best thing you could have done. Quote
Brian B Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Another plus is many insurance companies offer discounts for taking one. I know Progressive does. Quote
