Penn boating license?

[wmteich]

Is there any actual requirement for boating in Penn? What do I need to have on me in terms of paperwork? Any advice is welcome.

Pa requires all operators of PWC (Personal Watercraft) to have completed a boating course and have a boating certificate in their posession when operating a PWC.<br /><br />In addition, operators under a certain age (18 I believe) can not operate a boat over 10 HP without a boating certificate.<br /><br />I took the course a few years ago over a weekend and now it is even available on-line from the PA fish & boat commision website.

Not yet, was hoping to maybe get up there this year. Camp at Promise Land SP and do runs to the lake during the week. I started booking my vacation time and it's starting to look a little thin, too many hobbies not enough time. I have a couple of things going on that may limit my time off. And I've heard WPP can be a night mare on weekends.
