PWC in NC and SC

[TARider]

Despite it being the absolute worst time to look for one, I'm thinking heavily about picking up a PWC. This brings up a few questions:
-Though I plan on taking the boating course, it looks like it's not required if born before 1988 ( I beat that by a couple decades) - is that correct?
-This will be registered in NC, do I need to do anything additional to use it in SC?
Thanks

Yep. Buy it and fly it. Nothing additional to do for SC.

After being around seadoos, that have to replace the plastic wear ring every 40 hrs... i can say my gp1300r with metal wear ring, was flawless. drank a lot of gas but was fun.

It really is all about the wear ring.

Thanks all. Just put the deposit on a Yamaha. Should be here in May or June. Darn supply chain disruptions....

I currently own 3 Yamahas (2 2019 EX Deluxe and a 2021 FX Cruiser SVHO) and have had 3 others in my life. Never an unexpected issue out of any of them. Past 3 = 1 was sold to upgrade, other two both dropped a cylinder after 19 yrs and 20 yrs of ownership / abuse respectively. They were owned within the family and used at all get togethers, etc. Considering the abuse those two took and all that was ever done was routine maintenance I'd say they proved their worth. My boat has a Yamaha outboard on it. You can't beat a Yamaha. Great choice in my opinion.
