I think it is a great idea. No, it won't solve everything. However it does demonstrate that at the very least the boater has reviewed the material. WA state has been doing this for a while. It is not expensive to get a WA boating education card and it isn't expensive for the state to administer. It does provide LEOs a legit reason to pull an idiot off the water if they don't happen to have their card with them.

Just because an idea won't solve all ills doesn't make it a bad idea. Every new requirement from a government entity is NOT simply an attempt to get money from you.
