There is this place just east of Wolcott on the 104. It is called Samson Marine. They do boat repairs. Samson Marine, 6311 Waters Rd, Red Creek, NY 13143, US -
That is a tricky problem and politics are involved. Today the federal government has to protect publicly owned spaces from states interests, but tomorrow the states may have to protect the publicly owned lands from the federal government which might have bad intentions. Dependent on the political situation today's friends may be tomorrow's enemies. That sounds like a loose loose to me

It will not replace 50 years of experience, But it will help you pick up on new regulations that did not exist until 10 years ago. It will also fine tune your experience and make you aware of little shortcuts that may have crept in your boating behavior. But you should remember that having been on the water for fifty years makes you ,like me, probably in your late sixties or early seventies and at that age we start forgetting things that we knew all our lives. And that makes taking that course a great refresher that helps sharpen the edges that have become dull with the years

I got my Golden retriever from a Mennonite family in Ovid. It seems that the local mennonite community does a lot of dog breeding where there is one or two dogs and not a puppie mill. you probably know or know of some mennonite families around you. You can ask them and they will be happy to direct you to a breeder. https://puppies.com/find-a-puppy/labrador-retriever/new-york/geneva

Somerset Stack demolished

I remember fishing in the current with all the big ones coming out of the lake into that warm water. -
It would seem that way. But as water vehicles change and water traffic signs change, there may be refresher courses to get up to date on the latest changes. As an example I would say that personal water vehicles were unheard of 60 years ago and now there is a slew of rules because of them. Now there are new water vehicles like motorized surf boards that zoom along at high speed and before too long there will be rules about those as well. As for having lost your certificate. If you remember through which organization you took the course they should have it on file and you can request a replica.

I did mine in 2014 and I took the certificate to the DMV about 2 months ago. They accepted it and upon my request for $12 they added it to my drivers license. So now I have a boat anchor on my drivers license, which for me is great because a have a tendency to crumple things up or just plain loose them.

Yes. It is like any other law. On the other hand, there probably is not enough manpower to enforce this law. But if you get into some accident and you don't have the license it would be very easy to throw the book at you. Still, I do not see how a NYS resident can be fined for braking this law because he is a boat owner while if he rented a boat he would not have broken the law and if an out of stater or renter is not held to the same standard then this law will stand a snowball's chance in hell in any court of law. BUT... It is winter now and there is not much boating going on. So why not sign up for an online course ( Boat USA has them) and spend some time thinking and studying boat safety, if only to confirm that everything you know already is really the right thing.

Yes you do. There is another thing that you will have to get used to. After making sure that the primer ball is hard, you have to just start the engine without trying to choke or raising the little gas handle,because that will flood the engine. Only after the engine has started can you raise the RPMs to warm up the engine. It is just something you get used to.
