That isn't a problem, really. The officer shouldn't hassle you for it. Remember, a Driver's License is not required to operate a boat, although a Boating Education Certificate is required, depending on your age group. Having one or both of these documents available allows the officer to complete his paperwork a little faster, therefore getting you on your way a little sooner. Remember, paperwork is done for every stop.
You must be able and willing to identify yourself; name, address and date of birth. A Driver's license is a quick and easy way to accomplish that. The Boating Ed Certificate will also identify you.
Lacking either, (and lack of the BE Cert, if required by your age group, will likely get you a ticket) you would be required to sign your name on a form in front of the officer. That is a testimonial that you are who you say you are.
