Without a NY or NJ BSC card you are only legal in NY waters until Jan 1, 2025. After that you're illegal in NY too. You fall into an age loop hole for NY, since NY right now requires know absolutely nothing about what you're doing until 2025. IMO … Hardly a good thing for other nearby boaters.
Curious. Why is this card so problematic to get? Its a one time life time card. NYS BSC is super easy to get too. The whole thing is on the internet. You don't even have to get out of your chair.

The ONLY problem I have with any of this is the fact that all the launches are in NJ, unless I want to go into Queens or something . [I don't].
I would simply stay on the NY side and fish there.
