What is required to operate any motorboat legally for a person of age?

  1. A driver's license

  2. A specific boater's hat

  3. A boating education certificate or a valid boating education certificate issued by another state approved by NASBLA

  4. A passport

The correct answer is: A boating education certificate or a valid boating education certificate issued by another state approved by NASBLA

Operating a motorboat legally requires a person to have either a boating education certificate or a valid boating education certificate issued by another state approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA). This certificate is proof that the person has completed a boating education course and is knowledgeable about boating safety. It is not necessary to have a driver's license or a specific boater's hat, as those do not demonstrate knowledge or proficiency in operating a motorboat. A passport is also not a requirement for operating a motorboat legally.
