In all seriousness, I asked that very same question at the boating safety course.

"If a DUI was to be issued to a person in a boat that had 1 helm and a set of throttles controlled by a 2nd person, who get's the DUI ?"

The answer I got was, "The guy behind the wheel."

Let's not forget though, if you were in a car and had nothing to drink, but you let someone drive that was legally intoxicated, if I am not mistaken you can be charged with something.....

Even if your state does not require it, you need to have a certificate for a boater safety course.

When this was being proposed my 1st question was how was this would be enforced being as NJ shares the Hudson River with NY , the Delaware River with PA and the Delaware Bay with DE. As far as I can remember, that was the answer. The operator would need one from their state if they were to boating on NJ waterways.
It was proposed way back when this whole boat saftey course came about. But it was staggared as far as what will be enforced. June 1st 2009 was the enforcement date that would effect racing.

It effected racing from the beginning depending upon the participants age...

If you had a young person racing, they were required back then too. Now that everyone needs one, they will now be looking for it. Let's not forget, this state is looking to raise $$$$$.:eek:

The race is in the ocean, isn't that coast guard authority? I dont believe they are concerned with that license. Does anybody have the ture answer?

Unless you crane your boat in by helicopter, you still need to take the Intercoastal Waterway to get to the Ocean..... ;)

They hydro race was in a contained body of water with only racers on the course and saftey boats on the shore ready to launch.

You do not need one if your race site has a Coast Guard permit,( It over rides a state permit).
The apba race you talk about need a state permit only ,

Any race that has a Coast Guard permit is OK.
