To be fair though, aviation is much more regulated. If, and I am not
saying it should be, but if, boating was as regulated as aviation there
would be very, very, few boating fatalities.
I disagree. Aviation tends to sort out the idiots a lot faster. Both by
the technical requirements of actually learning to get a plane into the
air
and by being completely unforgiving in accidents. Neither's true of
boating. That said, requiring more (heck, any) qualifications could be
seen
as a good thing for boating.
You got b**ls man.
For years I was basically opposed to government agencies, state or
federal, imposing the requirement of a license or certification in order
to operate a boat. I've changed my mind. I think there should be state
licensing with a written test similar to getting a automobile driver's
license.
Why did I change my mind, you ask?
Mrs. E. bought a boat.
Seriously, I think there should be a test and a certificate to operate
issued that could also be revoked.
