Default Re: Out of state boaters in NJ waters...

Bob,

You know you can take the NY class totally online with BoaterExam.Com or Boat-Ed.Com for $30-35 and get a lifetime card from Parks Dept? Unlike NJ you can take the whole course on your computer including the final exam. 50 Questions, passing grade 76%.

It's much easier than the NJ course and perfect for you.

Someone needs a better understanding of the laws they must enforce it would seem.. I won't try it... bob
