Nightwing,

The following is from the boated website. If I am reading your information correctly, it seems to contradict. Is it correct or out of date? I hope that it is still valid as I've been teaching my 13 yr. old to drive and dock the boat. He has gone through the entire boat ed website course. I often wish that a jr. level course and certificate were offered for kids aged 12+ just like the snowmobile courses.

From boated website:

A vessel powered by more than 25 horsepower (other than a “ski craft”) may be operated by:

A person under 16 years of age only if he or she is accompanied by a person 18 years old or older who has a valid Safe Boater Education Certificate. The accompanying person is responsible for any injury or damage caused during operation of the vessel.

A person 16 years of age or older only if he or she has obtained a Safe Boater Education Certificate as required by the “Schedule for Required Safe Boater Education.”
