Three-month boater safety course starts in January
Published: November 22, 2005
If you are a boater 50 years old or younger, beginning this January you will need to obtain a license to operate a boat in Oregon. Ã‚Â

Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 76 is offering an eight-week public boating safety course in Portland, Ore., which begins on Jan. 19 and ends on April 13. The class is open to the public and costs $40 for one person or $55 for two, with an additional $12.50 charged for course materials.

Upon completion, you will receive a certificate enabling you to operate a boat with more than 10 horsepower.
6-weeks of class Ã‚Â :eek

....you've got to be kidding... :rolleyes

Too cold for boating up there anyway... Ã‚Â :laugh

There are exceptins: Ã‚Â
Is anyone exempt from needing a boater education card?
Yes. Exemptions apply to:

Out-of-state and foreign visitors: If they will be boating in Oregon for less than 60 days or hold a boater education card from another state.
Boaters with a current Coast Guard Boat Operator License: Boaters such as guides and barge operators who hold a current Coast Guard Boat Operator License are exempt from the requirement.
Commercial Fisherman: Boaters who hold a current commercial fishing license do not have to carry a boater education card when operating recreationally but do need to carry their commercial license or documentation. (ORS 830.092(2))
Non-certified, supervised adults: The law allows a non-certified adult to operate a power boat IF under direct supervision of an adult 16 or older who is carrying a boater education card.
New Boat Buyers: Buyers have a temporary exemption, valid for up to 60 days.
Boat Renters: Renters will be exempt, but must complete a dockside safety checklist.

Here Ã‚Â is a link to the rules: Ã‚Â http://www.marinebd.osmb.state.or.us/Educati....Wh-2914
If link does not work, copy and past it into the address line of a new browser window, hit enter and it should work.

I didn't see anything regulating speed just horse power. So as long as you don't let any more than 10 horses paddle, you're alright.

Typical Oregon crap. That' one of them States that doesn't even let ya pump your own gas :rolleyes

I asked the kid that was putting gas in the van if they were trained ,he said no. So I don't know why they have them pump the gas instead of letting people do it them selves. It can only be explaned as, "It's an Oregon thing".

Then she would be able to say that alcohol was a factor. Oops. He just got drunk and fell overboard and drowned. Now lets cash out on his insurance policy. :laugh
