The plastic card you get does NOT have a serial number or license number on it. It can no more be revoked or suspended than your High School Diploma. You took the course and passed the final exam. You're a Graduate. That's it. 
HOWEVER: You MUST have taken the course and passed the exam in order to go boating with a powered vessel over the prescribed horsepower.
"PRIVILEGE"...is something else.  NB |
All above is true
except for the renter who simply has to take a 10 question quiz given by the marina renting the boat for a handsome daily fee. Then they can rent a boat with unlimited horsepower and proceed to cause mayhem and chaos on the lake. I fear for my life when I see these unexperienced, untested,
CLUELESS boat renters coming my way.
