IF you get DWI in a car the revocation terminology is "motor vehicle" so you cant operate a boat either. There was a push a while back to make BWI impact your highway privileges too but it went nowhere. I think some states have interpreted their DWI sanctions as being the same for land or water. I expect that will be looked at again here, if the Safety Certificate program doesnt achieve aprciable results.

IMO. That would be easier to implement than a leisure boat license program.
