Not according to the State of NJ Marine Enforcement Bureau.. Unless they are as not knowledgeable in NJ Marine law as you are... I called them and explained the situation and was advised that NJ does allow OUT OF STATE boaters to operate a vessel in NJ if they are in compliance with the regulations in their home state... NY doesn't have "certificates".. I was told by the Marine Police that NY boaters can indeed use NJ waters, as they are in compliance with NY law, and that NJ honors that.
I appreciate your reply, but until I get a ticket that proves you correct, I will go by the conversation I had with the NJ Marine Enforcement Bureau... bob
