PWC(boating) certificate

[matas]

How hard is it to get a boating certificate in NJ? You guys know any materials I can study from, I mean I gotta go to this course soon, but I just want to look at some stuff before i go there.

i'd assume that most state requirements are the same. i got mine when i was 13 from michigan. here is their study site. Text

The only requirement is swimming 100 meters with an anchor tied around your neck. I would suggest practice though, its not as easy as it sounds.

Age requirement in new jersey is 16 years old. Do I have to know different types of boats and how to properly trail a boat?

The Mississippi study site appears to be the same as the Michigan. I took the practice test and passed without reading the course material. I have owned boats and several jet ski for 20 plus years.

I got my boating certificate. It was really easy, but long. If you don't know the basics yet, then you should pay attention the the person who is presenting the safety material. I got only 2 wrong out of 50. 40 right answers is minimum to pass.
