Bob,
Perhaps you are unaware? NYS does not require you have any training AT ALL unless you were born after 1/1/1993 as of this year. SO you are NY compliant with no course at all.
Look up NYS Brianna's Law. NY is phasing the BSC in. Eventually as of 1/1/2025 everyone no matter what age will need a BSC in NY too. But right now March 2021 you do not need any training at all. Jersey passed the age phase ins in pre-2008- everyone needs one
That's what he meant.
NJ waters requires you get a BSC, whether NJ or NY, get one. Right now in NYS waters you don't need crap if you're over 28 years old. But if you're in NJ from NYS you need a BSC (whether NY or NJ or CT or PA, etc) you need one in NJ waters.

The wording on Q3 would seem to say, without any doubt, that I cannot..
So again the question i have had the past several years still remains..
I can operate a boat in Raritan Bay-legally. At least as long as I stay on "my side" of the bay.
If I cross the imaginary line into NJ, am I suddenly not eligible to operate that same boat?...The NJSP told me yes I could just a few days ago,stating that the states were reciprical, and in that zone I was legal, but NOT in freshwater.
Their site doesn't mention this reciprosity anywhere that I can find, but their officers have, more than once... So basically. take my chances and see what happens if I get stopped.. Worst that can happen I guess is a fine of some sort...bob
