Don't quote me, but for info:
When NH was first implementing the certificate, I've lived in Lakes Region 30 years and had boats; I've got boating & navigation experience from south shore of Boston & Cape Cod waters and Caribbean, since infancy! A child.
I looked at the requirements online and decided to try the sample test. I did also have experience on Lake with my 20' sailboat and others. In the online test, I passed, but did not follow through to obtain the certificate. Doing it now, I find one of the classes, and go for it.
I feel it's very important to understand inland waters navigation, boat handling and general safety. There are lots of boat users without any common sense or respect for others on the lakes. I can correlate it to highway road rage, and lack of courtesy on the ski slopes.
Marinas used to sell a boat, give the buyer the keys, and say off to the waters! Have a good one!
