He can take it at 13 years old.

I have an idea - I think all the old timers ought to suggest March 13. :grinpimp:

Let's start an Old Farts Fund and get together and hire someone to cook for the young 'uns, maybe bring in some local DJ to "spin records" for the boys and girls and keep 'em busy and distracted from sunup to sundown.

Have it at Hebert's - that way they can watch us running to our favorite holes while they're in class!

Just a thought....

Some need to get it before July 1st, or some people won't be able to run their
own boats. That would suck to have a boat that you cannot run.

LDWF needs to update their website.

Vessel Operator Age Information:
Persons born after January 1, 1988, may not operate a motorboat powered by a motor in excess of 10 housepower unless he or she has successfully completed a boating safety course approved by NASBLA. These persons must be in possession of evidence of completion of the approved course whenever operating such a vessel.
It is illegal for anyone under the age of 16 years of age to operate a personal watercraft (PWC).

New law says 1984. It has been published in all the newspapers.

I thought they had a notation online that the new law will go into effect on 1/1/10

I was just saying LDWF needs to update their website (www.wlf.louisiana.gov/boating/regulations). I was able to find the updated regulation but only because I was looking for it. If someone would happen to just click on "Regulations" they would get wrong info and good luck trying to explain that to a warden.

But thanks for the heads up. I emailed a few friends that need to take the course and they had no idea of the new regulation. Must people in that age group don't read the paper.

Thanks again!

(I smell some good bait here.....)


Can't say I blame 'em (e.g., Houston Comical) or might be some other reason????

Try this one:

Congratulations. Now you can run a boat.:D
