Hi, to be honest, the course takes a long time to complete, while the information is accurate and covers everything you need to know on the water, for someone who just wants to take a small boat with a 2hp motor and go fishing on a small lake, the info is too much. I don’t think you will capture everyone because of the length. It is too bad there can’t be two divisions, small lakes pontoon and jet ski sail boat specific and Great Lake/ocean. The one thing that I constantly see is when you meet another boat you pass as you do with a car, for some reason people think you pass opposite. I asked someone who done this, they had the Boatsmart course and said that’s what the book said. I explained and they confirmed later to me what I already knew. Thanks for your time.
