True... but in this case I do think it's a little nuts that it's been legal to drive a boat/watercraft of any size and power without any kind of education/license in public waterways

Maryland goes back to 1972.

Not every state. MA and UT are not included. Probably others but I didn't look too deeply.

New York has a free option of getting an endorsement on your license when it is renewed.

If I take the course now, will the certificate be good when I renew my license in a few years?

"Merlin" doesn't count because they all talk funny.
That funny accent goes right up 95 into Philly and southern jersey. Must be the wooder.

Whats the micro-generation? Honest question. Never heard that term before.
