Boating safty classes
Dont involve getting in a boat ?
Yet if you pass one you can get in a boat and take it out with out EVER being in a boat and drive it. Let alone docking/trailering the thing. .No matter how big or small it is. Yep- thats the goverment. Or maybe they are worryed about the instuctors safty ?
On a weak end at a boat ramp. Is hands down the best entermend. I'v ever found. Seen a guy back down a boat remp. Then comenced to up hook the trailer. Never thought of that. GOOD idea when you run aground.GUESS ?

We used to fish an irrigation reservoir in Nebraska that would drop up to 30' in the summer. This translates to a boat ramp that was about 200 feet long and maybe 16' wide. We watched a guy try to back his boat down the ramp for about an hour before we gave up. We were leaving and already out of the water. That guy might still be there. That was about 15 years ago. LOL

the one I took 27 years ago did , however it was a canoe .
you do not need a boat license or safety class to drive a boat here in WIS only your drivers license.
since most of the people who take boaters safety here are under 16 there isn't much point to trying to teach them to launch a boat or back a trailer they can't legally drive yet any way.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Regarding trailers, if you can’t back it you shouldn’t be pulling it. Regarding boats, if you can’t load, unload, service and fix it, you shouldn’t be driving it. Any of y’all ever tractor launched in surf? https://youtu.be/QFvZJQGPErk

Those dang halibut.
Anyone ever put their boat in the water, then realize the plug wasn't in? Admit it, now. That was my Dad's favorite trick, until he realized he wasn't meant for boats.

When I took boaters safety ,it was online. Didn't even have an instructor. I get a kick out of people at boat ramps.
If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

I've had to back up others vehicles/trailers more than a few times at the ramps
They always think im being helpful
I'm not!!!
I just would like to go fishing and they are in my way
Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell
