You won't see me on the water anywhere on the weekends.
Actually the Boaters Card is only $10 through Boat US. I got mine 2 years ago, well before the time I'm actually required to have one. It was a very intensive education with 7 sections covering just about everything including safety, rules, even boat hull design. I took my time completing a course per day. Each course is 40 -70 pages and you have to spend about 25 seconds per page before you can go to the next. You have to pass an exam after each section. In the end you have about an 80 question final exam. I would guess that it would take a minimum of 8 hour to complete the entire course. With all the stupid antics I see on the water I'm very happy that everyone will be required to get this card by 2025. After I received my permanent Boating card Tow Boat US gave me a $50 discount on my next on the water towing bill.

All you can do is calculate your risk no one knows there demise will be its a prediction ��
I really took it to heart ❤ this Gorge Floyd thing because I know what it's like not being able to breathe
And I was a diver on and off my whole life.
Used to push the limits in the pool.
After the nurses in the ER asked me do you want us to try and resuscituate you if your heart stops, I said ya I guess. In the morning when I awoke I thought I died and went to heaven because a beautiful young virgin angel was singing to me 😍

I wish Florida enforce requirements like that... too many idiots on the water with no knowledge about what they are doing. Definitely the biggest danger to offshore fishing in the more populated areas of Florida.

If your engine is under 15HP you don't need one.
