California Boater Card
Does the Calif. boater card (now a mandatory rule) apply to Barrett or any other CA lakes?

Funny that if you're renting a boat, you don't need a boater's card.falafeluver wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 9:10 am Does the Calif. boater card (now a mandatory rule) apply to Barrett or any other CA lakes?

Re: California Boater Card
After reading up on the "Whys?" for this reasoning, it seems that on average during a year, only 9% of the accidents that occur on vessels are from rentals. That is why they're not requiring it for people who rent.
You'd think the entities or concessionaires that rent boats would REQUIRE you to provide proof of a boater's card when you rent from them, as their insurance provider should make that mandatory.
Imagine walking into a Hertz or an Avis and you try to rent a car without a driver's license. See how far that gets you.
