he would still need to be under your supervision until 16 according to how I read the law. It is kind of amusing in the above scenario that the 6 year old can legally operate the boat and the mother can't although i have to say at 6 my son was far more comfortable running the boat than his mom and she has a certificate.
I think the allowable age for the safety class should come down because many of us allow our kids to drive the boat. I had my son take the snowmobile education class just before his 8th birthday even though he wasn't old enough to recieve the certificate and he learned a lot that he still remembers, teaching them the right way from a young age is better than trying to break bad habits later. .
