Well i turned 16, May 24. Just got my drivers permit last week and just got back from my first drive with my mom. Did pretty well for my 1st time. but thats not the point. Im now able to get my boaters license and was wondering who long it takes to get one. I live in pennsylvania. Im pretty busy this summer, but want to get it so me and my brothers can go out wakeskating this summer. thxs

Search online for it. You'll find an online test you can take. Take it over and over until you've memorized every question.

or

Find a boating safety class in your area, and attend for however long they require.

PS. in Tennessee you can get it when you're 12. Laughing

i live in MD. my class was for a week from like 5-7pm
the test was so easy i got the lowest score out of 12 people ages 6-maybe 40.
my score was a 98 Smash

shouldnt be too time consuming

Do you have to get one in Cali?? Ive never heard of them out here! I drive boats all the time! Is it just not enforced?
