License Requirements Question

[kbdalrymple]

What is the max. length of a private vessel not for hire that is allowable on a basic state boat license? Are there any specific requirements?

None; although I don't know of too many insurance companies that will insure a boat over 70' without a full time licensed captain as part of the crew.

I wasn't thinking of anything that big, only like 35' or so, was just wondering, this is a relatively new venture for me and I'm trying to cover all the bases.
