MM, don't know if you are aware or not but a new law was passed last year that makes the 45 day exclusion moot in your case. The lW now is if a non-resident operates a vessel on the waterways of the state you must, at a minimum, comply with applicable laws of you drivers license issuing state. Since Georgia requires a boater certification now you must have that in your possession, or an Alabama vessel license. I am not certain of the requirements to receive the certification and you may qualify for an age exemption which is typical when new restrictions are placed into law. Technically I am exempt from a vessel license, but I have one anyway. Just a heads up for all you Georgia folks who have used the 45 day exclusion to get by.
