I applaud anyone who shows a willingness to learn how to be a safe boat operator before jumping in with both feet. Yes, a salesman will show a new boat owner how to operate, but going out and learning the controls of a boat is not the same as gaining real experience. In my opinion, there are way to many inexperienced boat drivers out there already (too many in boats that are too big and powerful for their experience) - I wish more people were willing to take the time to learn.
