Thanks for the info, Skip. t^

Is the safety course the same as the on-line course? I took a course on-line through PA Fish Commission and it went quickly, certified and all. That course also covers your tail for New Jersey under certain circumstances.
-
I would double check that about NJ. I do not believe any type of online course and test, no mater the state is valid in NJ waters.
-
Below is some info for out of state like myself. It really doesn't specify if that is 90 days per year or not. I have a PA boaters card.
Out-of-state residents who are at least 16 years of age and who will be in New Jersey for less than 90 days may operate a power vessel on the waters of the State of New Jersey if they possess a certificate issued by their state of residence or if they have in their possession written proof of successful completion of a boating safety course approved by another state, the US Coast Guard, or the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA).

This Info is correct. Last year I CALLED the NJ state police for clarification. Because my boat is registered in NJ. and is kept in a slip in NJ. as long as you DO NOT have a place of residency in NJ. all you need is a safety course certificate from your home state. You can also visit the NJ State Police web site http://www.njsp.org/maritime/ (http://www.njsp.org/maritime/) To confuse you even more TT^
