No. Most of the people who have boats here aren’t “boat” people. They get in the way and don’t understand the rules.

I've heard it's because some morons decided you don't need a blue card if you're born before 1984 or something - so now a ton of boomers have boat money and retirement time, but didn't have to take any training.

It’s actually January 1, 1982, which is hilarious because when the law was passed, that probably meant you had to be over 12 to not need a license. There’s not shifting date provision though, so now it’s 40 and goes up every year. It doesn’t really matter though, I’ve taken the class to get my license. It’s online and a complete joke.
