Boating license question

[BWhaler23]

Don't feel bad... had the boat indorsement on my license for almost 30 years... renewed my drivers license one day and it seemed cheaper then before... asked the woman why so cheap and she replyed that boat was no longer on the new license... I was outraged and was told no boating course no indorsement.... well long story short I went out and got every license and indorsement I could get (including a U.S.C.G. Masters) anyhow parker pete is right, it will all pay off!

So are you saying that I DO NOT need the license just the safety certificate if I am just using this boat in the rivers.

Please call the New Jersey Motor Vehicle agency at 609-292-6500 and get the correct information regarding your question about boat being on your driver licvense. Or go on line and read it yourself ! I'm a fisherman and I do not lie or give out false information.

all you need is the safety certificate!

I TEACH THIS FOR YEARS and am a NJSP Provider. And give this site's member course discounts too.

THE LAW:

YOU NEED- the NJSP Boater Safety card for ANYTHING that has a motor electric or gas. Unless you have a USCG license(but this is NG for NJ lakes).

TIDAL/SALT WATER- You NEED NJSP card. Do NOT need DMV endorsement ever.

NON-TIDAL (lakes)
You still need NJSP Card. You go to DMV with your NJSP Card and pay DMV $16 for Boat Endorsement on your Driver's licsnes or your non-driver ID card. BUT................ if you boat in lakes with LT a 10hp gas or only 12vdc electric (not 24 or 48vdc) you do NOT need DL Endorsement ever. It's a waste of your money.

The NJSP card has no renewals and is good for life once issued.

PM or call me and I'll explain more if you're still unsure.
