Well we certainly have no control over who rents what, and many that have passed the full exam are just as dangerous. We could have supported a NWZ-only law for the rental boats, but one of the posts earlier in this thread shows just how dangerous these rental cowboys really are in NW zones. Just trying to save lives here.

Just imagine a dozen rental boats leaving the Weirs at roughly the same time. That's acres and acres of dangerous water for the recreating public to deal with.
