I remember going through all these same comments and criticisms back In 1995 when CT instituted this same law. They grandfathered anyone who had a boat registered for the previous 10 yrs (which I missed by 1 yr) I just sucked it up , paid 75.00 for the course then 50.00 for the certificate. I found the course, which was 1 night a week for 8 weeks, helpful and informative, but didn't' appreciate the fact that all this was forced upon me by the state. Nowadays, boating mostly on lake Ontario, when I see people doing stupid stuff, I just shake my head, and am thankful for the knowledge !
