Re: 8 and older not having to wear vests:

This gives me a little more comfort for the occassional time we'll forget to vest up my 10 year old, but I can tell you as a parent I would darn sure still stick to the 12 year old guideline, especially in the conditions here on the weekend. If things start to go bad they tend to get very bad very quickly. I don't want to have to be worrying about pulling out and putting on vest for the kids on board. If the boat's on fire or sinking, I like to be able to just pick them up, throw them as far as possible, follow them in and call State Farm later.

This is similar to the age restrictions - we've had my 13 year old daughter convinced for the past 3 years it is 16 to drive. If she continues to show maturity and good judgement, we'll revisit this when she's 14 or 15, but for now don't have to deal with the expectation of having her own boaters license next summer. Not that there aren't 50 year olds with bad judgement, but the capacity to be aware and prepared for anything just isn't there for most 14 year olds, IMHO.
