Nobody's advocating fake ID. It exists, and the boating certificate may be one of the cheapest and easiest fake IDs to get. Fake IDs are a fact of life in college towns.
This boater, stupid enough to boat drunk and hit Happy Family Island, could lose her driving license. OR produce a fake ID. She can still carry passport identification in NH and produce an out of state boating certificate while boating on Winni. Flashing of the boating certificate at arm's length was sufficient for one PWC MP last season, who stopped a boat towing six kids on a tube. He stayed less than a minute before heading off in another direction.
