Consider that any course that was given over ten years ago did not cover any of the changed and newer NH boating laws, lest we forget the 15hp to 25 hp flip flop over the years, noise regulations this year, increased BWI and MV related penalties a couple years ago, equipment and registration requirements (what? no more little license plates?), to name a few.

It might behoove a vessel operator who has been voyaging on the big pond to get up to speed with a NH Safe Boaters' course just as a refresher, even though they may have all that 'seamanship' under their noggin. And that is a good thing but it always pays to know the laws wherever you may intend to boat, drive, live, travel...when in Rome.

Sure you've had that six pack a while but are you current?
