I was wondering how many have completed this course already. Most of us are grandfathered in and did'nt have to but would'nt be a bad idea anyway.
Who Needs a Boating Education Card?
Anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 1986, and of legal age to operate a motorboat or sailboat, must have successfully completed an approved AGFC Boating Education Course and carry proof while operating a motorboat or sailboat on Arkansas water.
Yea... I made it by a couple of years...
But I'm sure I do nothing right and everything wrong!
Still trying to figure out how to steer my tiller handle with my knee....
Didnt have to but i did
My 13 year old daughter took boaters ed in school a while back. Now she tells me everything i'm doing wrong in the boat. I guess i'm gonna have to let her run the motor soon.
I have not taken it, nor do I HAVE to, but I keep saying I am going to take the course, just 'cus I should... We all should.

Thats a good idea Deezer, I may sign up my son to take the course.
Well I am sure I don't need to course....most times when I am out on the water and pass folks they wave one hand with one finger up telling me I am a number one boater.....looks to me like you guys need to learn my habits.
Ahhh.....so that was you!!! Well hello again!!! JK.Quote:

I didn't know you could put Boater and Education in the same sentence!
I took it about thirty years ago on lake nimrod and in the wood of bayou meto by my dad and his best friend gene morris. I can assure between the two of them cussing me and instructing me on the does and don't. I'm certified. I can still her them yelling 'dammit boy' when I do something stupid when running my boat.

I got to get my son his. He has studied for it a time or two but we keep put it off. Where can you take the test?
I took my test online. I did have to call because I never got my card, AGFC took care of the problem. I over 30 years not needing the card but took it anyway because I get on some of the COE bigger lakes.Quote:

Can't you take the course online and test with a person in your area or is it a sit in class like hunters Ed?
I took it several years ago and it was very educational. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who is a boater.
