Greencoachdog Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 If he's 60, he may be "grandfathered" in and doesn't need a card... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Unfortunately no grandfather clause on this one in Canada. Nonsense with many of us driving boats since we was knee high to a grasshopper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanook Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 The way the test are conducted, there maybe should have "Grandfathererd'. But I guess someone needed a cash flow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 ya up until a week ago you could drive a yacht with no license but not a jetski...needed a license for that for quite some time now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 No he doesn't need one. That's as long as he has $305 for every time he's checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLLIWOGG Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 He might have some other kind of proof of competency like a Power Squadron diploma issued before 199?. I don't think the jetskis started it but kids getting killed on rented jetskis sure pushed it through. "I have right of way because I've been going this direction for a long time" ( bickering salmon fisherman on the vhf in the 90's) Things are a little better but not much.
