I think some of the requirements are crazy, like drug testing but it;s
just a sign of the times.
I am sure you know the CG does not required a license for waters that
are not ''navigable water of the USA"( located completely within the
state) many states do have licensing requirements.
I am not sure what it costs to get a CG license, It was free when I got
my license and a renewal but I am sure a free is involved now just like
other professional license's.

Right , that is what is crazy about Winnebago, technically it would be
navigable to Lake Michigan if it wasn't for the dam in Depere. There is
no way to get from Winnebago to Lake Michigan in my boat. So it confuses
me a bit.

Oh well, I don't mind getting the license because it keeps only serious
people guiding.

Thanks for everyones input, I will probably try to start down that road.
