Default Massachusetts Boating License & Registration?

I just moved to Mass. a few months ago and bought a used boat for the
upcoming season. What's the procedure of getting a boating/pwc license
and registration of the boat?

Thanks,

- Dave

As in 43 other states, it's likely you will need to qualify for a
Mass. "Boater's Education Card" to legally operate a boat in that
state.

Chuck, if you don't know the answer, there is no need for you to respond
with misleading guesses.

Take a look at http://www.boat-ed.com/ma/handbook/toc.htm or
http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dle/ for all the information you need. No user
"license" is required if you are over 18, a bit more complicated for minors.

Not true Chuck. Your research lacks depth. You did score points for brevity,
though.

Did you bother to visit the site Chuck posted, JimH? This information can
be found the

The restrictions below apply to boats propelled by any type of motor,
whether or not the motor is the principal source of propulsion.

* A person under 12 years of age may operate a motorboat on
Massachusetts public waters only if accompanied on board and directly
supervised by a competent person 18 years of age or older.
* A person 12 through 15 years of age may operate a motorboat on

o Has passed a state-approved boating education course or ...
o Is accompanied on board and directly supervised by a competent
person 18 years of age or older.
* A person 16 years of age or older may operate a motorboat on
Massachusetts public waters without age restrictions.


Sounds like Chuck did a pretty good job of directing the OP.

How did I get involved in this? I guess Herring is having another senior
moment or has a reading comprehension problem.

Precious would be a good term for your contribution of a tree to the

have one in yours.

Too bad this Capital One tv ad appears to be a Canadian thing.
It could be your theme song.

A link to a web site outlining the Mass law is hardly a "misleading
guess".

In any event, boater education cards are not typically considered a
license.

My note that he would "likely" need a card and a direction to a source
to check out the particulars would have informed the OP that depending
upon his family situation, certain members of the family will need to
qualify for a card before operating a boat. I didn't intend to speak
as an authority on Mass. law, simply point out a consideration that
might have otherwise been overlooked.
