Just as big truckers are scrutinized more thoroughly in their tests than automobile drivers are, so should the Big Boater.
A formula needs to be devised for the tests that adds additional -- and increasingly difficult -- questions relating to speed and weight on the water.
The additional questions can be indexed to each additional foot over 24 feet of the registered boat, with a multiplier for the number of engines, each ton of weight, and other parameters.
The Big Boater can be rewarded with a special "NH Lakes" decal indicating proficiency in boating knowledge. The decal can be revoked upon receiving a ticket and covered over with another decal indicating revocation.
